About this map

La Feria and the surrounding irrigation districts of the Rio Grande Valley appear here during a period of significant residential expansion. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage and supply channels, such as the Wilson Canal and the Cameron Company Levee, which manage water for both agricultural and municipal use. Numerous colonias and family-named settlements dot the grid, including the O'Canas Family Colonia and Aurora Longoria Colonia, reflecting the region's unique heritage and growth patterns.

Water features are prominent across the flat terrain, from the La Feria Reservoir in the south to the Tiocano Lake Bed and Valley Acres Reservoir further north. Cultural landmarks like the San Francisco Cemeteries and Restlawn Memorial Park provide vital touchpoints for genealogists, while aviation history is represented by the Old Reb Airport. The meandering course of the Arroyo Colorado at the southern edge serves as a natural contrast to the rigid geometry of the surrounding road and canal systems.
