Why this spot

1900s+ Sanborn-mapped town on San Felipe Creek and the Rio Grande a few miles south; the town grew around the spring-fed creek irrigation canals

Border and irrigation town that built out around 1900; slightly later than the Gulf ports but firmly bottle-era with spring-fed creek deposits.
