2016 Map of Laguna Vista

About this map

The coastal wetlands and tidal flats of Cameron County define this 2016 survey, where the residential grids of Laguna Vista and Laguna Heights meet the western shores of the Gulf Of Mexico. This landscape is dominated by complex water systems, including the critical commerce corridor of the Brownsville Ship Channel and the Intracoastal Waterway in the southeast. Inland, the map reveals a mosaic of low-lying terrain features such as San Martin Lake and El Tular, interspersed with "lomas" or small coastal hills like Loma de la Grulla and Loma la Cuchilla. The presence of the Cameron Company Fwsd Reservoir 1 and the landmark at Puerta de Trancas highlights the managed water infrastructure essential to this region. For the local historian, the map preserves a detailed record of late-20th-century coastal development, documenting specific street names like Santa Isabel Blvd and the recreational geography of the Country Club Dr area.
