USGS Topo · Published 1933About this map
Santa Rosa and the surrounding Rio Grande Valley landscape appear here during a transitional era of hydraulic engineering and agricultural expansion. The dominant feature is the North Floodway, a massive drainage corridor cutting across the coastal plain to manage seasonal runoff. This infrastructure, overseen by County Engineer W. O. Washington, sits alongside a network of irrigation canals that enabled the rise of commercial farming in this corner of South Texas.
