1956 Map of San Perlita South

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

San Perlita sits at the northern edge of this coastal prairie landscape, where the flat terrain of Willacy County is defined by an intricate network of ditches and elevated roads. In the mid-1950s, the economy here was largely shaped by agriculture and coastal access, as evidenced by the straight-line orientation of Red Fish Bay Road and Parker Road cutting across the survey. A small Cem and the settlement of Porfirio provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing local families in this part of South Texas. The transition from terrestrial to coastal features is marked by scattered landing strips, including the Cole Landing Strip (Private), reflecting the reliance on private aviation for managing large agricultural holdings and navigating the remote stretches of the Gulf Coast hinterland.
