About this map

The Rio Grande serves as the international boundary between the United States and Mexico along this South Texas borderland. The landscape is defined by the development of numerous colonias, including Falconaire Colonia, Lago Vista Colonia, and Jardin de San Julian Colonia. These residential clusters are concentrated west of Hwy 83, showing the modern expansion of communities near the water.

Ephemeral watercourses like Arroyo Morteros and Arroyo la Minita drain the arid terrain toward the river, while the Mangus Lake Dam represents local water management in the brush country. For those researching family history in Starr County, the Los Arrieros Cemetery is a significant landmark near the intersection of Los Arrieros Loop and Old 83 Rd. The settlement of Salineño sits directly on the riverbank, accessed by the Salineño Shortcut, anchoring this section of the river valley.
