2016 Map of La Sal Vieja

About this map

La Sal Vieja dominates the southeastern portion of this landscape, its waters surrounded by low-lying wetlands and brush typical of this South Texas region. The geography here is defined by the convergence of three counties, with boundaries for Hidalgo, Kenedy, and Willacy counties meeting in the open terrain. This survey illustrates a rural infrastructure of named ranch roads and county lines, such as Garza Ranch Rd and Co Line Rd, which serve the expansive properties and limited agricultural clearings. The map documents the persistent nature of these isolated water bodies and the network of unpaved and secondary routes like Co Rd 3750 and G I Rd that cross the sandy soils and scrubland of the Rio Grande Valley hinterlands.
