2019 Map of Edcouch

About this map

Agricultural settlements and complex irrigation networks define this portion of the Rio Grande Valley in the late 2010s. The neighboring towns of Elsa and Edcouch sit at the heart of a grid-dominated landscape, flanked by numerous residential developments such as McDaniel Addition Colonia and Salinas-Hinojosa Colonia. This map reveals the vital role of water management in the region, tracing the Main Supply Canal as it feeds the North Floodway and several drainage systems like the Donna Drain. Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds, including Cementerio Anahuac and the San Jose Ranch Cem, while the Skalitsky Airport and the Valley Acres Reservoir reflect the modern infrastructure supporting this productive South Texas corridor.
