The South Texas brush country around Santa Catarina and Santa Anna is defined by a sparse network of ranch roads and family-named landmarks. This 2016 survey highlights a landscape of enduring ranching heritage, where the territory is partitioned by routes like San Blas Ranch Rd and La Coma Ranch Entry. Small burial grounds, including Tangue Allegre Cem and Santa Maria Cem, serve as critical markers for genealogists tracing local families in this corner of Starr County. The presence of the Diamond O Ranch Airport near FM 1017 reflects the modern intersection of traditional land use and private aviation. Concentrated settlements like La Gloria remain the primary hubs of activity, connected to the surrounding countryside by farm-to-market roads and named lanes such as Saenz Ln.
