About this map

The dense residential network of the Rio Grande Valley is captured here, characterized by an extensive system of colonias that define the suburban landscape between McAllen and Pharr. These settlements, such as Lopezville and North Alamo, represent a unique pattern of land development and community growth in Hidalgo County. The region's history of resource extraction is evident through the presence of several active petroleum sites, including the Whitted Gas Field and the Shepherd Gas and Oil Field, which are interspersed among the residential blocks and citrus-named roads.

Aviation and irrigation infrastructure anchor the southern portion of the area. The McAllen Miller International Airport serves as a major transportation hub, while the Main Floodway and Hackney Lake Inlet demonstrate the vital water management systems necessary for this lowland environment. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies multiple burial grounds such as Guadalupe Cemetery and San Juan Cemetery, providing precise locations for genealogical research in this culturally vibrant borderland.
