About this map

Laguna Madre defines the eastern edge of this coastal landscape, where the shallow waters of the gulf meet a complex network of ancient distributary channels. In the early 1930s, this portion of Cameron County was characterized by these winding resacas, including Resaca de los Cuates and Resaca de la Gringa, which trace the abandoned paths of the Rio Grande across the flat coastal plain. These natural features provided essential drainage and intermittent water sources for early ranching operations like the La Coma Ranch.
