About this map

Lasara serves as the primary hub of this agricultural landscape in the Rio Grande Valley, situated near the boundary between Willacy Co and Hidalgo Co. The area’s character is defined by a sophisticated water management system essential for local farming, featuring the extensive Reservoir Unit Number One and Reservoir Unit Number Two, which are fed and drained by the Main Supply Canal and the Main Branch Northeast Canal.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial sites, including the Lasara Memorial Cem near the town center and more isolated locations like Garcia Cem, San Martin Cem, Chavez Cem, and Stockholm Cem. These sites, along with the grid of county roads such as Garza Ranch Rd and Tamez Rd, provide a window into the established family lineages and land-use patterns of this South Texas community during the early twenty-first century.
