united states

E. Lopez is a tiny farming community in South Texas's Rio Grande Valley, about 60 miles west of McAllen on US Highway 83. The town sits in flat ranch country near the Mexican border, where cattle and crops thrive in the subtropical climate. Most visitors pass through on US 83, the valley's main east-west route connecting border communities. The local post office doubles as an informal community center for this settlement of just over 100 residents.
