2019 Map of Arroyo Melado

About this map

The Rio Grande serves as the international boundary on this Presidio County sheet, dividing the United States from Mexico along a winding river corridor. This desert landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, notably Arroyo Melado, Arroyo Chillon, and Arroyo Chonogas, which cut across the terrain toward the river. For family history researchers, the Ochoa Cem is a significant landmark situated just off FM 170, which parallels the river. The map also records early 21st-century infrastructure such as Johnson Rd and Garcia Rd, alongside natural features like Spencer Cr. The network of intermittent arroyos and the proximity of the border road provide a detailed look at the rural land use and topography of this remote Trans-Pecos region.
