About this map

Harlingen serves as the commercial and residential hub for this portion of Cameron County, defined by a dense network of drainage and irrigation infrastructure essential to the Rio Grande Valley. The landscape is carved by the winding Arroyo Colorado and a systematic grid of canals, including Number One Canal and Number Seven Canal. These waterways dictate the layout of surrounding settlements such as Primera, Palm Valley, and Combes.

Genealogists will find several significant burial sites, from the large Harlingen City Cem to the smaller Alvarez Family Cem and the Frank Ferree Gravesite. The map also captures the expansive grounds of the Valley International Airport and the Texas State Technical College - Harlingen, highlighting the region's mid-century transition from purely agricultural to a mixed-use industrial and educational center.
