The Rio Grande serves as the international boundary between the United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos in this 2016 survey of the borderlands. The landscape is dominated by the Falcon Reservoir, which creates a complex shoreline of inlets like Government Cove and Arroyo Medio. On the Texas side, the residential patterns of Falcon Village and the H. Cuellar Estates sit near the massive dam structure that controls the river's flow. Further downstream, the settlement of Chapeno remains a point of interest for local historians, specifically for the Chapeno Cemetery located west of Chapeno Rd. The map also illustrates the transition between Zapata Co and Starr Co, showing the local transportation network including Ranch Rd 2098 and Park Ave that connects these waterfront communities.
