2022 Map of Bennett Ranch

About this map

The Rio Grande serves as the dominant geographical feature on this map, tracing the international boundary between the United States and Mexico in a remote stretch of West Texas. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the river's winding path to the dry uplands of the Big Bend region, where ephemeral drainage patterns like Sand Cr carve through the arid terrain. Further inland, the boundary between Jeff Davis and Presidio Counties bisects the northern reaches of the quadrangle. In the higher elevations to the east, localized water sources such as Ash Spring and the rugged topography of Hog Canyon highlight the scarce but critical natural landmarks of this desert environment. This survey captures a terrain where historical ranching and modern boundary monitoring intersect along a sparsely populated frontier.
