About this map

Arroyo Colorado and its intricate waterway system dominate this part of the Lower Rio Grande Valley, where modern infrastructure meets the coastal wetlands of South Texas. The landscape is defined by the winding Resaca de los Cuates and the engineered precision of the North Floodway and Arroyo Colorado Cutoff. This network of canals and natural resacas illustrates the region's historical reliance on sophisticated water management for both irrigation and flood control in Cameron County.

Remote trails such as the Upper Cayo Loop Trl and Laguna Atascosa Loop Trl trace the edge of Laguna Atascosa, providing access to the marshy coastal prairies. Evidence of long-standing local settlement appears at the La Leona Cem, located along Fernando East Rd near the junction of Paredes Line Rd, serving as a vital point of reference for genealogists studying the families of the La Leona community.
