2019 Map of Olmito

About this map

The winding oxbow lakes and resacas of the Rio Grande delta define the landscape south of San Benito and north of Brownsville during the late 2010s. This agricultural and suburban corridor is marked by intricate water management features, including the Main Supply Canal and the Resaca de Los Cuates Reservoir, which support the region's long-standing citrus and vegetable farming heritage. Small communities such as Rancho Viejo and Olmito are built around these historical river channels, creating a distinctive settlement pattern where residential streets often follow the curves of Olmito Lake and Resaca de las Flores.
