2010 Map of Lopeno

About this map

The Falcon Reservoir defines the western edge of this South Texas landscape, where the Rio Grande's waters meet the arid brushland of Zapata County. The settlement of Lopeño sits along the highway, while further south, the residential clusters of New Falcon and New Falcon Colonia reflect more recent development patterns in this border region. The area is characterized by an extensive network of ephemeral drainages that carve through the terrain toward the reservoir, including the Arroyo del Tigre Grande, Arroyo del Tigre Chiquita, and Arroyo Tinajas. Local industry is anchored by the Lopeno Gas Field, indicating the importance of energy extraction to the local economy. Traces of rural infrastructure appear through routes like Palmyra Rd and Los Lobos Rd, which connect scattered ranching and industrial sites across the scrubland.
