USGS Topo · Published 1932About this map
The Rio Grande carves a complex, winding boundary between the United States and Mexico in this early 20th-century survey of Hidalgo County. The landscape is defined by the legacy of the river's shifting path, visible in the numerous oxbow features like Sardinas Lake, Sardinas Resaca, and La Cruz Resaca. These natural formations contrast with the rigid grid of irrigation canals and early rail infrastructure that transformed the valley into a productive agricultural corridor.
