The Rio Grande defines the international border on this 2016 survey, where the valley floor is etched with an intricate system of agricultural irrigation. Along the river's path, the Riverside Canal and Riverside Intercepting Drain parallel the border, feeding a complex network of channels such as the San Elizario Lateral and Del Monte Lateral. This infrastructure supports the historic agricultural character of the region, even as residential expansion continues in the form of multiple colonias.
