Viboras and San Carlos anchor this portion of Starr County, representing the persistent ranching settlements in the brush country of South Texas. The landscape is defined by its water management, evidenced by the numerous named windmills distributed across large ranch holdings. These landmarks, such as Tia Ramona Windmill and Agua Leguas Windmill, highlight the importance of groundwater for survival in a region where surface water is limited to seasonal drainages like Los Olmos Creek and Remadura de Sandia Creek.
