Harlingen and the nearby community of Combes anchor the southwestern corner of this survey, where residential developments meet the agricultural expansive of the Rio Grande Valley. The landscape is defined by its drainage and irrigation network, most notably the Pilot Channel which cuts across the central terrain. This area at the border of Willacy and Cameron counties serves as a significant site for local genealogy, containing numerous burial grounds such as Noyola Cemetery and Ashland Memorial Park Cemetery. The presence of smaller rural settlements like Lasana and landmarks such as El Muerto Cemetery illustrate the localized settlement patterns of the South Texas borderlands. The map also detailes the early 21st-century road network, including US Highway 77 and several farm-to-market roads that connect these agricultural and residential zones.
