Life on the Edge of the Lone Star State

 

While many of Texas’ well-known attractions are found deep within the state, a visit to the borders brings a new perspective on Texas culture.⁠

In our June 2022 issue, we explore stories from the swamps of the east to Big Bend’s natural wonders in the west. Senior writer Clayton Maxwell examines how the Texas-Louisiana border blurs at Toledo Bend Reservoir. Writer-at-large John Nova Lomax shares how descendants of the Karankawa people on the Gulf Coast are reclaiming their heritage. And author Katie Gutierrez visits her hometown of Laredo to showcase the duality of life on the border.⁠
