About this map

The Palmito Hill Battlefield occupies the center of this southern Texas landscape, marking the site of the final land engagement of the Civil War along the meandering Rio Grande. The terrain is defined by a series of lomas, or clay dunes, rising above the surrounding coastal salt marshes and flats. Notable elevations include Palmito Hill, Loma de la Estrella, and Loma del Muerto, which provided strategic overlooks near the Boca Chica Highway.
