The waters of the Falcon Reservoir and its various inlets dominate the western edge of this South Texas landscape along the border of Zapata and Starr counties. The settlements of Lopeño and Falcon are central to the area's geography, with the later addition of New Falcon reflecting the mid-20th-century relocations necessitated by the damming of the Rio Grande. Local history is anchored at the New Lopeño Cem and Falcon Cem, which serve as vital points for genealogical research in this ranching region.
