Description

The stone foundation was evacuated and flooded as part of Falcon Reservoir. The level of the Reservoir has been lowered, revealing the overgrown streets, foundations, and sidewalks. The property is now owned by a local rancher, and is being used for cattle grazing. Old Zapata used to be a thriving Border town before it was flooded.
