The coastal plains of Cameron County meet the water at Arroyo City, where the Arroyo Colorado and its Arroyo Colorado Cutoff define the local geography. This 2013 survey illustrates the complex landscape of the lower Rio Grande Valley, characterized by numerous water features including the Resaca de los Cuates and the saltwater margins of Laguna Atascosa. The area is marked by a legacy of large-scale ranching and rural settlements, with names like La Leona Ranch, Miradores Ranch, and Rancho Nuevo anchored to the grid-like road system of FM-1847 and FM-2925. Family and local heritage is preserved at the La Leona Cem, located near the intersection of Fernando E Rd, while the development of recreational infrastructure is evident at the Arroyo City RV Resort Marina and Seaway Village Marina.
