About this map

The Rio Grande snakes along the international boundary between the United States and Mexico, anchoring the landscape of Starr County. Along its northern banks, Rio Grande City serves as a central hub, surrounded by a complex network of colonias and residential developments that reflect the modern settlement patterns of the border region. Residential clusters like Las Lomas, Santa Rosa, and El Refugio are connected by a dense web of local roads, including the historical corridor of E Main St and W Main St.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Olmos Cem near the community of Olmos, providing a specific point of reference for families in the area. The map illustrates the transition from the organized grid of the city center to more dispersed settlements like Garza-Salinas Colonia and Rodriguez Number 2 Colonia, showcasing how this riverfront territory has adapted to growth while maintaining its connection to the winding watercourse.
