2013 Map of Harlingen

About this map

Arroyo Colorado winds through the heart of this landscape, its serpentine path contrasted by the rigid, linear precision of the South Texas irrigation network. These engineered waterways, including the Harlingen Main Canal, Number Seven Canal, and Number Two Canal, define the agricultural and municipal development surrounding the city. The map documents the residential expansion between the community of Combes to the north and the established streets of Avondale and Palmetal. Commercial and transportation hubs are prominent, from the Valley International Airport complex to the Harlingen Municipal Golf Course. Water management remains a central theme, evidenced by the City of Harlingen Reservoir and Lake Harlingen, which serve as vital nodes within the region's hydraulic infrastructure.
