2010 Map of Falcon Village

About this map

The International Falcon Lake Dam and Falcon Dam stand as the central landmarks of this borderland survey, marking the point where the Rio Grande is impounded to form the massive Falcon Reservoir. The geography is defined by the international boundary between the United States and Mexico, with the landscape carved by seasonal waterways like Arroyo Medio and Arroyo Morteros. On the Texas side, the residential community of Falcon Village and the Miguel Garza Colonia sit near the reservoir’s edge, supported by infrastructure including Falcon State Park and the Falcon State Park Airport. Genealogists may find interest in the Chapeno Cemetery, located south of the dam near Swordfish Dr. The map illustrates a modern era of water management and recreation along the border, showing how the reservoir has reshaped the traditional river valley into a structured landscape of parks and settlements.
