The Rio Grande defines the southwest corner of this South Texas landscape, where the international boundary of the United States of America follows the river's winding course. This semi-arid region is characterized by a network of intermittent drainage systems, including San Lorenzo Creek, Tordillo Creek, and Espada Cr, which channel seasonal water toward the Rio Grande basin. The presence of Tordillo Tank underscores the importance of water management in this cattle-ranching country, providing a necessary collection point in a terrain marked by limestone hills and brush.
