2013 Map of Box Canyon OE S

About this map

Amistad Reservoir dominates the northeastern landscape of this 2013 survey, its branched fingers reaching into the surrounding terrain where the international boundary between Texas and Mexico is defined by the underlying river course. The map illustrates a largely undeveloped region characterized by the intricate drainage systems that feed toward the Rio Grande. Though primarily featuring the expansive waters of the reservoir, the detail provided by the U.S. Geological Survey shows the fine contours and intermittent stream beds that define this borderland environment during the early 21st century.
