Falcon Reservoir dominates the landscape on the international border between Texas and Tamaulipas, Mexico. This 2012 survey illustrates the rugged brushland and drainage systems south of the dam, where the Rio Grande continues its course past Chapeno Cem. The settlement of Falcon Village serves as a residential hub for the area, connected by a network of local roads such as Ranch Road 2098 and Reservoir Rd. To the north, the fingers of the reservoir reach into the terrain at Arroyo Medio, while Falcon State Park occupies a significant portion of the shoreline, offering access to the water via St Park Road 46. The map captures the distinct boundary between the managed parklands and the open arroyos, including Arroyo Morteros, that define this borderland environment.
