About this map

The Rio Grande forms a winding international boundary at the southern edge of this modern landscape, where the Gateway Bridge connects Brownsville to the border. This 2019 survey documents a complex intersection of history and industry, from the sprawling Palo Alto Battlefield National Historical Park in the northwest to the heavy maritime infrastructure of the Brownsville Ship Channel and Intracoastal Waterway in the east.

Settlement patterns include established residential areas like Cameron Park Colonia and Reid Hope King, alongside significant historical sites such as Old City Cem and Buena Vista Cem. The map illustrates the region's environmental preservation efforts through the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge and Lrgv NWR, which border the river's path. Infrastructure is anchored by the Brownsville/South Padre Island International Airport, while the northern terrain is marked by Loma Alta Lake and the Rancho Viejo Floodway.
