About this map

Edcouch and Elsa anchor this landscape of dense residential colonies and vital irrigation infrastructure in the Rio Grande Valley. The map documents a unique settlement pattern defined by numerous colonias, such as Hacienda el Porvenir Colonia, Ten Acres Colonia, and the many Olivarez subdivisions. These communities are interwoven with a strictly geometric grid of roads like Mile 17 Rd N and irrigation channels, most notably the winding Donna Drain and the Main Supply Canal.

Local history and genealogy are preserved in the naming of several burial sites, including Cementerio Anahuac, Cementerio de las Burras, and the San Jose Ranch Cemetery. The presence of small airfields like Cannon Aviation Airport and Skalitsky Airport alongside large water features like the Valley Acres Reservoir illustrates the area's dual reliance on agricultural infrastructure and local transport hubs during this era of growth.
