2016 Map of Willamar

About this map

The community of Willamar sits at the intersection of FM 490 E and FM 1420 in this Willacy County landscape, where the flat coastal plain is defined by agricultural tracts and vital water management infrastructure. To the south, the North Floodway cuts across the terrain, a critical feature for managing seasonal water in this part of South Texas. The map records several small-scale settlements and rural junctions like Porfirio, along with family and local history sites including El Toro Cem in the north and La Jarita Cem near Co RD 1651. A network of named ranch and farm-to-market roads, such as Old Alice RD and Parham Rd, connect scattered ranching operations and water sources like Sacatosa Tank and Retamita Tank. The grid of secondary roads reflects the region's long-standing reliance on organized irrigation and land division for ranching and farming.
