2023 Map of Bramlett Ranch

About this map

The Rio Grande defines the international boundary in this 2023 survey of Hudspeth County, winding through a complex landscape where the river floodplain meets the arid rises of West Texas. Along this stretch of the United States and Mexico border, the map reveals a stark contrast between the low-lying river bottom and the sharply defined terrain of the interior. To the east, the topography ascends toward Eagle Canyon, while Echo Creek drains the northern reaches of the quadrangle. This recent topographic record illustrates the contemporary drainage patterns and boundary lines in a part of the Trans-Pecos region defined by its isolation and the deep incision of the Rio Grande valley into the surrounding desert floor.
