The Rio Grande serves as the international boundary between the United States and Mexico along the southern edge of this Starr County landscape. In the early 21st century, the settlement pattern here is defined by numerous residential developments known as colonias, which extend northward from the river corridor into the brushland. Near the river, the historic core of Roma-Los Saenz and Cementerio San Antonio de Escobares represent the deep roots of this border community.
