The Rio Grande serves as the international boundary on this survey of the Texas borderlands, where the city of Eagle Pass meets a dense network of residential colonias. The landscape is defined by its water management and extraction history, from the Maverick Irrigation District Canal to the Seco Mines in the northwest. Numerous named colonias, such as Loma Bonita Colonia, Paisano Heights Colonia, and Chula Vista School Block Colonia, illustrate the distinct settlement patterns of the region. Local infrastructure is prominently featured, including Fort Duncan, Maverick County Lake, and the Eagle Pass Municipal Airport. To the east, a series of dams and reservoirs, such as those on Rosita Creek and Winn Lake Number 1, support the local ranching and exploration economy, while several fish farm ponds cluster near Las Quintas Fronterizas.
