About this map

Falcon Reservoir and the Rio Grande define the international boundary between the United States of America and Mexico in this South Texas borderland. The landscape is characterized by a series of drainages, or arroyos, that feed into the reservoir, including Arroyo Leon, Arroyo Clareno, and Arroyo Loma Blanca. These waterways carve through a terrain dotted with small ranching settlements and local landmarks.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Garcia Cemetery located along the arterial route of US Highway 83. Small residential clusters such as Green Valley, Alejandrenas, and Loma Blanca are connected by a network of rural roads like El Clareno Ranch Rd and Mesa Salinas Rd. The presence of features like Juanes Tank reflects the essential water management practices of this arid Zapata County environment near the start of the 21st century.
