1965 Map of Los Garzas

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Rio Grande defines the northern edge of this Starr County landscape, where the international boundary between United States and Mexico shifts with the river's path. In the mid-1960s, the small settlement of Los Garzas sat near the riverbanks, supported by infrastructure like the Pumping Sta and connected by light-duty roads. The map highlights specific cultural markers such as the Los Garzas Cem and an individual Grave, offering precise locations for genealogical research in this borderlands region. To the east, Casa Banco No 90 sits near the drainage of Arroyo Quixote. The shifting nature of the river is a central theme here, as notes from the International Boundary and Water Commission indicate the boundary line was not completely defined at the time of the survey due to recent changes in the river's course between Texas and Tamaulipas.
