About this map

Agricultural lands and ranching estates define this Rio Grande Valley landscape north of Harlingen in the early 21st century. The map highlights a network of drainage and water management systems, including the Pilot Channel and several levees such as Levee Road 1, which are critical to the region's farming infrastructure. Traditional family-held lands and laborer settlements are prominent throughout the area, including Aldale Ranch, El Graza Ranch, and Bracero Camp.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Noyola Cem in the eastern section of the quadrangle, while the southern edge shows the rural community of Lasana near the intersection of N 77 Sunshine Strip. The layout of local roads, such as Gutierrez Rd and Templeton Rd, provides a clear view of the parceling and connectivity of these South Texas agricultural tracts between Santa Rosa Lake and Esperanza Farms Lake.
