USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
Arroyo Colorado carves a deep path through the landscape of the Lower Rio Grande Valley, defining the southern edges of Harlingen and the approach to San Benito. This mid-century survey documents a region undergoing significant urban expansion, where the grid of the Industrial Airpark and new residential developments like Avondale meet the older agricultural irrigation infrastructure. The landscape is dotted with essential civic institutions, including the Valley Baptist Hospital and the State Tuberculosis Hospital, reflecting the city's role as a regional healthcare center.
