2016 Map of Edinburg

About this map

Edinburg and northern McAllen are the central hubs of this South Texas landscape, defined by an intricate network of residential colonias and vital agricultural infrastructure. The presence of the University of Texas-Pan American anchors the urban core, while the surrounding area is partitioned into numerous distinct communities such as Sauceda Colonia, Lopezville, and César Chávez. The region's dependence on irrigation is evidenced by the Edinburg N Main Canal and the Santa Cruz Canal, which cut through the grid of roads and settlements. Local history is preserved at the Old Edinburg Cemetery and Hillcrest Memorial Park, while the Norman & White Airport serves the north. This survey illustrates the dense development patterns and community naming conventions characteristic of the Rio Grande Valley in the early 21st century.
