1936 Map of La Leona

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

La Leona serves as a central point in this South Texas coastal landscape, where the Missouri Pacific railroad cuts across the southern portion of the survey. The environment is dominated by the winding course of the Arroyo Colorado, which forms the boundary with Willacy County. This 1930s survey reveals a region of large-scale landholdings, characterized by numerous named ranching outposts such as Boca Chica Ranch, Los Coyotes Ranch, and Nuevo Ranch. The presence of the Cayo Atascoso and the Resaca de los Cuates highlights the complex hydrology of the lower Rio Grande Valley, showing a network of ephemeral water channels and resacas typical of the era's natural drainage before extensive modern modification. Primary transit is defined by straightened tracks like Paredes Line Road and North Road, which connected these isolated agricultural headquarters to the rail line at the La Leona Ranch.
