The international boundary between the United States of America and Mexico bisects the massive waters of Falcon Reservoir in this modern survey of South Texas. The landscape is defined by the massive engineering of the dam that holds back the Rio Grande, creating a complex shoreline of inlets like Government Cove and Arroyo Medio. On the Texas side, the settlement of Falcon Village serves as a residential hub alongside H. Cuellar Estates, connected by local routes like Ranch Rd 2098. The map also illustrates the transition between Zapata and Starr Counties, where the terrain drops from the residential plateaus toward the riverbanks of Chapeno and the brush-lined drainage of Arroyo Morteros.
