2012 Map of Arroyo Melado

About this map

Rio Grande waters define the southwestern boundary of this borderland terrain, where the river carves a winding path through the arid landscape. The settlement of Arroyo Melado sits near the river's edge, connected to the wider region by the winding path of Ranch Road 170. This map captures a specific moment in the early 21st century along the Texas-Chihuahua border, illustrating the sparse human footprint in this environment. Away from the river, the land is marked by seasonal drainage patterns like Spencer Cr and the quiet presence of the Ochoa Cem, a significant site for local family history and genealogical research in this isolated stretch of the border.
