About this map

Lasara serves as the primary hub of this South Texas landscape, where the rectilinear grid of agricultural roads meets an intricate system of water management. The community is surrounded by several significant burial sites, including the Lasara Memorial Cemetery and Garcia Cemetery, which provide vital touchstones for family historians. To the southeast, the small settlement of Stockholm sits near the intersection of FM 1422 and FM 491.

The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the expansive Delta Lake 1 and Delta Lake 2, controlled by structures like Delta Lake Dam 2. This area is defined by its reliance on irrigation, traced through the Main Branch Northeast Canal and the Main Supply Canal. The presence of features such as Harbin Levee and Teniente Wid Number 1 Lake Dam reflects the sophisticated engineering required to manage water in this coastal plain environment during the early 21st century.
