2013 Map of Mercedes

About this map

Mercedes and its surrounding communities in Hidalgo County reveal a landscape defined by an extensive grid of agricultural and residential development in the Rio Grande Valley. The Arroyo Colorado and Llano Grande Lake anchor the southern reaches of the map, while the northern sections are bisected by an orderly network of roads such as Mile 13 N and Mile 12 N. The region's industrial and logistical importance is noted by the Lacy-Mercedes Gas Field and the Mid Valley Airport. Community institutions and historical resting places are prominent throughout the area, including Weslaco Cem, Our Lady of Mercy Cem, and Highland Memorial Cem. Smaller residential clusters like Heidelberg, Mila Doce, and Indian Hills are integrated into this dense agricultural tapestry, reflecting the area's steady growth and settlement patterns in the early 21st century.
