About this map

Arroyo Colorado and the Arroyo Colorado Cutoff dominate this South Texas coastal landscape, where the water management systems of Cameron County meet the edge of the Laguna Atascosa. The map illustrates a complex network of drainage and flood control, including the North Floodway and San Vicente Drainage Ditch, which were critical for the development of agricultural lands and colonias in this region.

Genealogists and local historians will find the La Leona Cem located along Fernando East Rd, providing a specific point of reference for early settlement patterns. To the east, the terrain transitions into the coastal wetlands and ridges of Cayo Atascoso and the winding Resaca de los Cuates. This survey documents a modern layout of rural infrastructure, from family-named landmarks like Adolph Thomae Trail to agricultural features such as Arroyo Tank and Negro Tank.
