1936 Map of La Leona

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

Arroyo Colorado and the intricate wetlands of Cayo Atascoso define this coastal Texas landscape, where early 20th-century ranching life is preserved in detail. The settlement of La Leona serves as a small hub, surrounded by family-operated holdings such as Boca Chica Ranch, Los Coyotes Ranch, and Nuevo Ranch. These properties are connected by a functional grid of straight-line roads, including Paredes Line Road and Fernando Road, reflecting a systematic organization of the South Texas brush country. The presence of the Missouri Pacific railroad running through the southern section underscores the era's reliance on rail for transporting cattle and local produce. Compiled in part from aerial photographs, this preliminary edition captures the transition of the Lower Rio Grande Valley before significant modern development, documenting the natural drainage patterns of Resaca de los Cuates alongside the Willacy and Cameron County boundary.
