2019 Map of Santa Rosa

About this map

Santa Rosa and the surrounding Rio Grande Valley landscape appear here at the intersection of Cameron, Hidalgo, and Willacy counties. The map documents a structured agricultural and residential grid defined by historic colonias and ranching settlements, including Zapata Ranch and Tierra Bonita. This region’s hydraulic engineering is central to its character, with the North Floodway and Willacy-Canal-05 cutting through the terrain to manage water for the surrounding citrus groves and fields. Smaller nodes of community life are preserved in the form of several family and local burial grounds such as Santa Rita Cem, Guadalupe Cem, and El Azadon Cem. The layout of Sebastian shows a traditional town plat north of the floodway, while the larger Santa Rosa serves as a primary hub near the southern edge of the survey.
