Falcon Reservoir and the Rio Grande define the international boundary landscape where Zapata and Starr counties meet the border of Mexico. This map details the recreational and residential developments along the water's edge, including the planned streets of Falcon Village and the nearby H. Cuellar Estates. The terrain is characterized by complex inlets like Government Cove and the drainage of Arroyo Medio. Near the settlement of Chapeno, the presence of the Chapeno Cem provides a focal point for genealogical research in this riverfront community. Traces of local travel are evident in the network of trails such as Roadrunner Trail and Desert Trail, which snake through the arid landscape north of the reservoir's main body.
