USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
The Rio Grande carves a dramatic, winding border along the southern edge of this mid-century survey, defining the agrarian and industrial landscape of Hidalgo County. The river's historical shifts are marked by several bancos, including Caballero Banco No 97 and La Parida Banco No 144, which sit alongside the lush acreage of Bentsen Rio Grande Valley State Park. Inland, the settlement pattern follows the Missouri Pacific railroad line, connecting small communities like La Joya, Penitas, and Perezville.
