About this map

The Rio Grande serves as the primary southern boundary for a series of riverside communities along the Texas-Tamaulipas border. This 2013 survey illustrates the dense residential clusters of Romo-Los Saenz and Escobares, which are tied together by a network of local roads that follow the ancient curvature of the river. The presence of the Cementerio San Antonio de Escobares highlights the deep-rooted family histories of the area, while smaller settlements like Garceno, Rosita, and Los Barreras maintain a presence along the river's banks.

The topography is defined by the significant hydrological features of Arroyo Garceno and Arroyo los Morenos, which drain toward the river through a relatively flat landscape. Notable landmarks such as Garceno Bend reflect the natural meander of the river, which remains the central organizing feature for transport and settlement. Inland, the grid-like development of North Escobares contrasts with the more dispersed family-named communities like Los Alvarez and Los Villareales further east.
