1956 Map of San Perlita South

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

San Perlita sits at the northern edge of this coastal prairie landscape, where the agricultural geometry of South Texas meets a complex system of drainage and irrigation. The map reveals an intensive effort to manage the local hydrology through an Elevated Ditch and various other water controls, likely supporting the nearby cotton and citrus industries of Willacy County. Industrial activity is anchored by the Los Coyotes Gin in the southern portion of the quadrangle, while smaller rural nodes like Porfirio and a localized Cem reflect the settlement patterns of ranching and farming families. Transportation is defined by functional routes such as Red Fish Bay Road and Parker Road, alongside a dedicated Landing Strip, illustrating the logistical needs of this productive agricultural era.
