About this map

The Rio Grande serves as the international boundary between the United States and Mexico in this southern Texas landscape. The settlement pattern is defined by a series of colonias and small communities clustered along the river corridor and the primary highway route. Notable residential developments include Falcon Heights, Falconaire, and H. Cuellar Estates, reflecting the growth of Starr County near the border. Genealogy researchers will find value in the location of the Los Arrierous Cem situated near Los Arrieros. The geography is further marked by a series of seasonal drainage ways, such as Arroyo la Minita and Arroyo Quemado, which carve through the brushland toward the river. Smaller named locales like La Minita, Indio, and Salineño North are connected by a web of local roads, including Alvaros Rd and Placido Rd.
