About this map

The Rio Grande Bravo serpentines through this binational landscape, defining the border between Texas and Tamaulipas. In this river-driven economy, the Donna Main Canal and the Donna Pumping Station illustrate the sophisticated irrigation systems critical to the Lower Rio Grande Valley. The terrain is marked by numerous river bancos, such as Longoria Banco No 39 and Balli Banco No 35, representing former river loops that have become permanent land features.

Settlements like La Reforma, Santo Domingo, and El Triunfo are scattered across the south, while the northern section is characterized by the Landa Gas Field and expansive drainage systems like the Floodway. Local genealogy and land history are anchored by small burial grounds including Webber Cem, Asadores Cem, and Balli Cem, which sit near protected habitats in the Baird Wildlife Management Area and the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge.
