1956 Map of San Perlita South

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

San Perlita anchors the northeastern corner of this coastal plain landscape in Willacy County, where the agricultural grid meets the subtle lowlands of the Gulf Coast. The map reveals a transition from organized farmland to a more variable terrain of depressions and intermittent water features, characteristic of the region before modern drainage projects fully altered the surface. Industrial activity is represented by the Los Coyotes Gin to the south, highlighting the area's historical reliance on cotton production. Rural life is etched into the landscape via a small Cem and several specialized transport features, including a Landing Strip and the well-defined Red Fish Bay Road leading toward the coast. These elements together document a mid-century Texas ranching and farming community as it balanced land use with the natural hydrology of the Rio Grande Valley periphery.
