2019 Map of Salineno

About this map

The Rio Grande forms a prominent international boundary between the United States and Mexico along the southwestern edge of this South Texas landscape. The region is characterized by a series of residential colonias and settlements that follow the corridor of Hwy 83 and N Grant St. Key communities like Salineño, Falcon Heights, and Indio are connected by a network of local roads including Salineño Rd and Falcon Loop. The terrain is defined by dry drainage systems such as Arroyo Morteros, Arroyo la Minita, and Arroyo Quemado, which carve through the brushland toward the river. Local history is anchored by sites like the Los Arrierous Cem and smaller divisions such as Lago Vista Colonia and Jardin de San Julian, reflecting the deep-seated ranching and borderland heritage of Starr County.
