Mission, TX

united states

Mission anchors the Rio Grande Valley just minutes from Mexico, connected by US 83 running east-west through town and Highway 107 heading north to Edinburg. Long-distance drivers arrive via US 83 from San Antonio, about 250 miles north, while locals use the highway network to reach McAllen (10 miles east) and the international airport. The restored 1924 railroad depot downtown now serves as the city's historical museum.
