USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
Mission and the surrounding Hidalgo County landscape are defined by a complex network of irrigation and flood control during the early 1960s. The Mission Main Canal and Mission Inlet cut through the citrus-growing region, supporting the local agricultural economy before reaching the winding Rio Grande to the south. This survey documents a critical period of hydrological management, featuring the Anzalduas Dam and various historic riverbank segments such as Anzaldua Banco No 45 and Maria Inez Banco No 46.
