About this map

The Arroyo Colorado serpentines through the coastal prairie of South Texas, defining the landscape where Willacy Co and Cameron Co meet. This 2016 survey highlights a region shaped by complex water management, featuring the North Floodway, Pilot Channel, and the San Vicente Drainage Ditch. These engineered waterways cut through a rural environment dominated by agricultural tracts and irrigation networks essential to the Lower Rio Grande Valley's economy.

Genealogists can locate several local burial sites, including Sabino Cem, Tanquesitos Cem, and San Antonio Cem. Small hubs like Santa Monica and Paso Real serve as anchors for the surrounding ranch land, which is crisscrossed by namesake routes such as Searcy Ranch Rd and Hardin Ranch Rd. The presence of the Farm Services Inc Airport near the McCloud Hood Reservoir underscores the area's continued reliance on aerial crop dusting and water storage infrastructure.
