About this map

Crystal City serves as the central hub of this South Texas landscape, where the street grid of the town center transitions into outlying residential developments like Bushy Creek-Colonia and Camposanto-Elcometa Colonia. The topography is defined by the winding course of the Nueces River and its associated drainage networks, including Alligator Slough and Espantosa Slough. These water features create a complex riparian environment that historically dictated the placement of early settlements and agricultural boundaries.

Genealogists can identify localized neighborhoods and historical landmarks such as Loma Grande, Las Colonias, and Amaya, alongside the Edgewood Cem and Juarez Cem. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows the convergence of several major routes, including Ranch Rd 65 and FM 1407, near the Zavala Co and Dimmit Co line, while the Boynton Reservoir marks a significant point of water management along the river's lower reach.
