The winding Arroyo Colorado dictates the geography of this South Texas coastal plain, where the Willacy Co Cameron Co line cuts through a landscape shaped by water management and ranching. The small settlement of Paso Real sits along the river's northern bank, near several family and ranch burial grounds including Tanquesitos Cem and Sabinito Cem. The presence of the massive North Floodway running parallel to the coast reveals the engineering efforts required to control seasonal inundations in this low-lying region.
