About this map

Falcon Reservoir dominates this South Texas landscape, where the international boundary between the United States and Mexico follows the submerged course of the Rio Grande. The reservoir's reach extends into numerous inlets and drainages, most notably the prominent Beckwith Arm and the nearby Arroyo Loma Blanca to the north. These waterways define the geography of Zapata County, creating a jagged shoreline of peninsulas and sheltered coves.

Overland travel through this brush country is primarily facilitated by a network of local roads such as Alejandrenas Rd and El Tigre Rd, which snake across the undulating terrain between features like Bronco Canyon and Juan Vela Lake. The prevalence of named routes like Los Lobos Rd and Cox Camp Rd suggests a landscape tied to ranching and local transit, punctuated by the seasonal ebb and flow of the reservoir's waters.
