About this map

The Rio Grande serves as the focal point of this borderlands region, winding between Texas and Mexico near the community of Roma. The town’s significant heritage is anchored by the Roma Historic District and the Roma-San Pedro International Bridge, which connects the United States to Ciudad Miguel Alemán. To the west, the river creates unique geographical features such as Fronton Island near the settlement of Fronton.

Ephemeral waterways including Arroyo del Tigre, Arroyo la Minita, and Ramirez Creek carve through the landscape toward the river. Historically significant ranch roads and loops, such as Los Arrieros Loop and Anacua Ranch Road, suggest a landscape defined by traditional land use and long-standing transit corridors. Further north, the settlement of Santa Margarita stands near the river's edge, while Gongora Hill rises as a prominent landmark overlooking the surrounding basin.
