The Rio Grande serves as the international boundary between the United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos in this 2010 survey of Hidalgo County. The landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of the river basin, featuring numerous named "bancos"—distinctive oxbow features and land segments created by river meandering—such as Longoria Banco Number 39 and Monterrey Banco Number 89. This era shows a transition in land use, where established rural sites like Webber Cemetery and the Landa Gas Field coexist with residential developments like 9 North-East FM 493 Colonia. Extensive irrigation infrastructure, vital for South Texas agriculture, is represented by the Donna Main Canal and the Donna Pump, illustrating the engineering required to manage water from the river to the inland fields.
