2010 Map of La Gloria

About this map

La Gloria and its surrounding ranchlands in Starr County reveal a landscape of sparse settlements and generational landholdings as they appeared in 2010. The road network, anchored by FM 755 and FM 1017, connects isolated hubs like Santa Catarina and Robberson with larger operations such as the Diamond O Ranch. This South Texas terrain is defined by its rural infrastructure, including the private Diamond Airport and the local energy production at the Strong Oil Field. For those researching local families, the map is punctuated by several significant burial sites, including the Tangue Allegre Cemetery, San Jose Cemetery, and Santa Maria Cemetery, which stand as quiet markers of the community's heritage. Long ranch roads like La Coma Ranch Entry and Joseph Lopez/Sal Colorada Rd trace the movement between these remote outposts and the working cattle and oil lands of the Rio Grande Valley hinterlands.
