About this map

Sullivan City serves as a central hub in this borderland landscape, situated just north of the meandering Rio Grande. The area is characterized by a dense network of residential colonias and small settlements that follow the path of Old Military Rd and the primary highway corridor. These communities, including Saint Claire Fisher Colonia, La Hermosa Colonia, and Vales Colonia, illustrate the unique local pattern of rural development and neighborhood clustering along the Texas-Mexico border.

Water features like Salado Cr and Cobby Lake break up the grid of local roads such as Pipeline Rd and Co Line Rd. At the southern edge, the historic settlement of Cuevitas sits near the riverbanks, while the community of Havana is positioned to the southeast near La Joya Lake. This survey captures the complex intersection of local governance and residential expansion near the Starr and Hidalgo county line during the mid-2010s.
