About this map

Alamo and the surrounding irrigated plains of the Rio Grande Valley appear here during a period of significant residential expansion. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of colonias, ranging from established communities like North Alamo Village Colonia to smaller residential pockets such as Tierra Bonita Number 1 Colonia and Colonia Guadalupe. This 2010 survey illustrates the region's reliance on water management, anchored by Donna Reservoir 1 and Donna Reservoir 2, which are essential for both local agriculture and the growing population centers.

Genealogists and local historians can locate specific family-centered landmarks and community sites, including the Saint Joseph Cemetery and the industrial footprint of the Alamo Gas Field. The map's grid-like road system, featuring major thoroughfares like FM 495 and Trenton Rd, connects these varied settlements, from El Nopal Colonia to the residential clusters of Val Verde Colonia. This document serves as a detailed record of the unique community-based development patterns characteristic of Hidalgo County.
