2022 Map of Laguna Vista

About this map

Coastal wetlands and low-lying lomas define the landscape of the southern Texas coast near the Brownsville Ship Channel. The settlement of Laguna Vista sits overlooking Laguna Vista Cove, where residential streets like Ocelot Trail Rd and Palo Blanco Dr suggest a modern community established around the natural topography of the Lower Rio Grande Valley. The map captures an intricate system of lagoons and inland water bodies, including Laguna Larga and the expansive San Martin Lake. Historically significant landforms known as lomas, such as Loma de la Grulla and Loma la Cuchilla, rise above the surrounding flats, providing crucial elevation in a region dominated by the Intracoastal Waterway. This survey documents the transition from the developed heights to the marshy expanses of Rincon Largo and the bird habitats of Bird Island.
