2013 Map of Rio Hondo

About this map

Arroyo Colorado snakes through this coastal prairie landscape, anchoring the settlement of Rio Hondo and the industrial activity at Port Harlingen. The 2013 landscape is defined by a dense grid of farm-to-market roads and irrigation infrastructure, including the Lateral R Canal and several significant water bodies like Montgomery Reservoir and Sweeney Lake. This survey illustrates the intricate balance between agricultural irrigation and local aviation, with both the Texas Air Museum Airport and Kornegay Private Airport situated among the fields. Small communities such as Lozano, Lantana, and Las Yescas are interspersed throughout the quadrangle, while the Monte Meta Cem serves as a prominent local landmark. The layout of the road network, including Farm-to-Market Road 398 and General Grant Rd, reveals a highly organized land-use pattern typical of this region's modern development.
