About this map

Puerto Rico and La Reforma anchor this segment of the South Texas brush country along the border of Starr Co and Hidalgo Co. The landscape is defined by vast tracts of open land, where a network of local roads such as FM 1017 and Puerto Rico Rd provides the primary infrastructure for the region.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family or community burial grounds, including Santa Rita Cem, Santa Monica Cem, and Santa Guadalupe Cem. These landmarks serve as quiet indicators of the long-standing ranching and settlement patterns that have shaped this portion of Hidalgo County over the decades. The map illustrates the sparsely populated character of the area, typical of the Rio Grande Valley's northern reaches.
