2022 Map of Adobes

USGS Topo · Published 2022

About this map

The Rio Grande forms a winding international boundary through this remote stretch of Presidio County, separating the United States and Mexico. This arid borderland is defined by dramatic elevation changes, where the southwestern slopes of the Chinati Mountains descend toward the river valley. Along the base of these highlands, historical local presence is marked by isolated burial sites, including the Chinati Cem, Adobe Cem, and Adobes Cem, which sit near the path of FM 170. These small cemeteries and reliable water sources like San Jose Spring suggest a long-standing human reliance on the springs and arroyos found within the canyons. The map tracks seasonal watercourses such as Arroyo Cienega and Pelillos Arroyo as they cut through San Antonio Canyon toward the floodplain, illustrating the vital role of drainage and geography in this high-desert environment.
