2016 Map of Southmost

About this map

The Rio Grande creates a winding international boundary at the southern tip of Texas, where the outskirts of Brownsville meet the brush and agricultural lands of the Lower Rio Grande Valley. This 2016 survey shows the intricate oxbows and resacas characteristic of the river's delta, a landscape defined by the shifting water and the formal border with the United States of America and Mexico. To the east, the settlement of Southmost and the community of South Point are connected by a network of rural routes such as Southmost Rd and S Browne Ave. Local history is anchored by the Southmost Cem, while the natural character of the region is highlighted along Sabal Palm Grove Rd, reflecting the area's unique ecological and cultural heritage as one of the southernmost points in the continental United States.
