Old Raotireno Cemetery stands as a focal point for genealogical interest along the eastern shores of Falcon Reservoir. This portion of the borderlands, where the United States and Mexico meet, is defined by the submerged path of the Rio Grande. The map details the complex shoreline of the reservoir, specifically highlighting the navigational channel through a series of numbered markers, including Buoy Number 33 and Buoy Number 18. The landscape is characterized by the expansive water of the reservoir and the international boundary that follows the original riverbed, providing a specific look at the Zapata County shoreline during the early twenty-first century.
