About this map

The Rio Grande defines the international boundary between the United States and Mexico in this 2010 topographic survey of the Rio Grande Valley. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of residential subdivisions known as colonias, including Jesus Maria Colonia, Santa Amalia Colonia, and Los Leones Colonia, which sit alongside established communities like Relampago and Progreso. This era shows significant infrastructure supporting the border economy, most notably the Progreso Toll Bridge and the Progreso Airport.

Water management and the river's legacy are evident in the numerous oxbow lakes and bancos, such as Lion Lake, Moon Lake, and Llano Grande Lake. These features, along with the Mercedes District Settling Basin Dam, highlight the complex irrigation and drainage systems required for the region's agricultural and residential development. Local history is anchored by sites like the San Pedro Ranch Cemetery, providing a point of reference for family researchers in Hidalgo County.
