I was browsing through The Texas Portal to Texas History and I found the following two maps about Hidalgo County. You can download them but the quality is not that great, but if you check the View in High Quality link at the bottom of each image. Their quality is stunning. The first map also has excellent layout of the South Texas Land Grants in Hidalgo County, Texas.
