1985 Map of Amistad Village

About this map

Amistad Reservoir dominates the northeastern landscape of this mid-1980s survey, illustrating the vast expanse created by the impoundment of the Rio Grande. The map highlights the development of Amistad Village and the significant infrastructure of the Amistad Dam along the international border. This 1:100,000-scale study reveals the transition of the West Texas river valley into a major recreation and water management hub, documented within the Amistad National Recreation Area. While the United States portion in Val Verde Co is detailed from recent aerial photography and earlier topographic sheets, the area south of the river is noted with a lack of available international data, emphasizing the map's focus on the northern shoreline and its surrounding desert topography during a period of established regional water infrastructure.
