USGS Topo · Published 1929About this map
The Rio Grande meanders along the southern border of this landscape, defining the United States Mexico Boundary Line between Texas and Tamaulipas. This late 1920s environment is characterized by the complex irrigation and drainage patterns of the Lower Rio Grande Valley, where ancient river channels known as resacas, such as Resaca de los Fresnos and Resaca de la Rancho Viejo, twist through the agricultural plain.
