About this map

The Rio Grande Valley's agricultural and irrigation network is on full display in this 2016 survey of La Feria and its surrounding communities. The landscape is defined by the Arroyo Colorado winding across the southern reach, complemented by an extensive system of engineered waterways including the Evans Canal and Wilson Canal. These routes support the region's long-standing citrus and vegetable production, connecting small settlements like Arroyo Alto and Stuart Place to larger water bodies like the La Feria Reservoir and the Valley Acres Reservoir.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established landmarks such as the San Francisco Cemeteries and Restlawn Memorial Park near the town center. The map also records the site of the Old Reb Airport and the expansive Tiocano Lake Bed, illustrating the complex relationship between the area's flat topography and its water management infrastructure. Settlements like Santa Rosa and Primera anchor the northern and eastern portions of the grid, separated by miles of managed drainage and rural roads.
