1936 Map of La Leona

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

La Leona and a network of family-named ranchlands define this coastal South Texas landscape as it appeared following the 1929-1930 survey. The territory is marked by the winding course of the Arroyo Colorado and the intricate tidal waters of the Cayo Atascoso, where channel definitions remain shifting and indefinite. This region in Cameron County shows a transitional era of transportation, where the Missouri Pacific and Fernando railroads run parallel to early motor routes like the Paredes Line Road. Large landholdings such as Boca Chica Ranch, Los Coyotes Ranch, and La Leona Ranch indicate a sparse, ranching-based settlement pattern near the Willacy County line. The topography also highlights natural features like the Resaca de los Cuates, illustrating the specific hydrology of the Rio Grande delta.
