2022 Map of Southmost

About this map

The Rio Grande carves a complex, winding border in this southern tip of Texas, where the international boundary between the United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos follows the river's deep meanders. This part of southeastern Brownsville is defined by its transition from urban development to rural agricultural reaches and protected natural pockets. The area is notable for its historic and familial sites, including the Brulay Cem and the San Rafael Southermost Area Cem, which reflect the long-standing community roots along the riverbanks. Local infrastructure like Southmost Rd and Sabal Palm Grove Rd provides access to these riverfront lands, while the settlement of South Point sits near the eastern edge of this distinctive riparian landscape.
