1957 Map of Edcouch

Genealogists will find significant local value in the clearly marked burial grounds, including Cementerio Anahuac, Cementerio de las Burras, and the San Jose Ranch Cemetery. The map also captures the industrial footprint of the era, from the Lacy-Mercedes Gas Field in the south to the extensive system of Elevated Ditches and the Willacy Canal that sustain the surrounding fields. Educational and community landmarks like Central Sch and the local Stadium reflect the social center of these South Texas communities.
