2010 Map of Amistad Dam

About this map

Amistad Dam stands as the central engineering feat of this border landscape, where the waters of the Rio Grande are impounded to form the massive Amistad Reservoir. This international boundary zone between the United States and Mexico showcases a modern recreation and utility network. The map detail highlights lakeside developments such as Amistad Village and Salems Point, alongside public facilities like the Air Force Recreation Area and the Governors Landing Amphitheater. The infrastructure is defined by specialized routes such as State Spur 349 and Vega Verde, which connect the dam site to the surrounding terrain of McKees Creek. The presence of S Winds Marina reflects the mid-to-late 20th-century transformation of this desert river valley into a significant water-management and tourism hub.
