1930 Map of West Brownsville
USGS Topo · Published 1930About this map
The Rio Grande carves a complex, serpentine path along the border between Texas and Tamaulipas, defining the landscape of this 1930 survey. The intricate hydrology of the region is marked by numerous bancas—cut-off river loops—including Guerro Banco and Trevino Canales Banco, alongside the ancient distributary channels known as resacas. The Resaca del Rancho Viejo and Resaca de la Palma dominate the interior drainage, reflecting the unique alluvial delta environment before modern water control extensively altered the flow.
