The Oriental range is also part of the American Cordillera, a range that spans over 600 miles from the Rio Grande river on the border between Coahuila and Texas and traverses southward through the Mexican states of Nuevo León, Tamaulipas, San Luis Potosí, Querétaro, Hidalgo and Puebla to join with the Transcontinental Volcanic mountain range.
The subranges in the north are the Sierra del Burro and the Sierra del Carmen that reach the border with the United states. North of the Rio Grande, the range continues into Texas as the Davis and Guadalupe ranges.

First Wayƒarer
First Migration
(The Algonquian Cultures)
The first to arrive in the lands along the Rio Grande River was one of the Sons of Diklah. As these first Wayfarer began to spread out over the Lands of Sephar, Diklan, son of Joktan, departed his father′s journey near to the junction of what is called today, where the Missouri River forks from the Mississippi River. From there, Diklah and his sons spread out into the Lands of Sephar in the areas now known as the south-central areas of the North American continent.
Yes, the fourth son of Diklah, Coahuiteco left the path of his father, Diklah to begin his separate journey and traveled into the areas towards the southwest, crossed what is now known as the Red River and entered into the Coastal Plains of Texas. From here, his sons continued southward across what is now known as the Rio Grande River into the areas south of this river and the lands of Sephar now known as Neuvo Leon, Mexico
The Coahuiltecan were various small, autonomous bands of Native Americans who inhabited the Rio Grande valley in what is now northeastern Mexico and southern Texas.[1] The various Coahuiltecan groups were hunter gatherers. First encountered by Europeans in the 16th century, their population declined due to European diseases, slavery, and numerous small-scale wars fought against the Spanish, criollo, Apache, and other Indigenous groups.
