2013 Map of Laguna Atascosa

About this map

Laguna Atascosa and the winding course of the Resaca de los Fresnos dominate this coastal landscape in South Texas. The area is characterized by a complex network of water bodies, including Sweeney Lake, Cross Lake, and El Freseno Lake, interspersed with agricultural reservoirs such as Mercer Reservoir 2. The settlement pattern centers around Bayview and the smaller communities of Arroyo Gardens, La Tina Ranch, and La Tina. For genealogists and local historians, the Soldiers Cem near Shuckman Rd offers a specific point of interest. The map reveals how the landscape has been shaped by water management, featuring numerous tanks like El Civolo Tank and the small Needle Island within the primary bay. Local transit is defined by rural routes like FM-1847 and family-named thoroughfares including Juan Gonzalez Rd and Palo Seco Dr.
