San Isidro and Santa Elena anchor this South Texas landscape during a period of significant petroleum development in the early 1970s. The region is defined by a dense concentration of family-named cemeteries, including Montalvo Cem, Rancho Viejo Cem, and Olivares Cem, which speak to the deep-rooted ranching heritage of the Rio Grande Valley. These quiet landmarks stand in contrast to the industrial footprint of the Sun Oil Field and the La Reforma Oil and Gas Field, where pipelines, a Gas Plant, and pumping stations crisscross the brush country.
