About this map

Harlingen and its surrounding colonias define the landscape of the Rio Grande Valley in this 2010 survey. The city's residential and commercial grid is bisected by the winding Arroyo Colorado, which serves as both a drainage artery and a focal point for local landmarks like the Harlingen Municipal Golf Course and the City of Harlingen Dam. North of the city center, the Rio Grande Valley International Airport occupies a significant footprint, while the surrounding rural-urban fringe is dotted with distinct settlements such as Combes Colonia, Las Palmas Colonia, and Avondale.

Agricultural history remains visible through an intricate network of irrigation channels, including Number Seven Canal and Number Twenty-six Canal, which cut across the flat coastal plain. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the edge of San Benito appears near several named residential clusters like Leal Colonia and South Ratliff Street Colonia, illustrating the region's unique pattern of growth and community development along the Arroyo.
