Tordillo Cemetery and the prominent Loma de las Potrancas rise above the South Texas landscape north of Laredo, where traditional ranchlands began transitioning into colonial residential settlements. The western boundary is defined by the Rio Grande, marking the international border between the United States and Mexico. This area is characterized by an extensive system of ephemeral water management, including Sausés Tank, Huasache Tank, and Salinas Tank, which supported the livestock of established estates like Santa Elena Ranch.
