2016 Map of Roma-Los Saenz West

About this map

The Rio Grande serves as the international boundary on this 2016 survey, defining the southern limit of Starr Co as it meanders past Fronton Island. The landscape is characterized by numerous seasonal watercourses, including Arroyo del Tigre and Arroyo de los Mudos, which carve through the terrain toward the river. Historically significant settlements and colonias are concentrated along the river corridor, where the historic core of Roma and Roma-Los Saenz meet the modern connectivity of the Roma-San Pedro International Bridge. The map details a transition from dense urban street grids, such as those near E Grant St, to the more dispersed residential patterns of Fronton Ranchettes and Campobello Colonia. Notable family-named landmarks like Guadalupe Guerra and De La Cruz Colonia illustrate the regional land-use patterns common to this section of the Texas-Mexico borderlands.
