2016 Map of Bullis Gap

About this map

The Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River forms the southern boundary of this international borderlands survey, where the Rio Grande cuts through deep canyons and high desert terrain. The landscape is dominated by significant relief, including the Bullis Gap Range and high points such as Loma de las Palmas. In this arid environment, water management is evident through the presence of named catchments like Bullis Gap Tank and Britton Tank, which are critical landmarks in a region defined by complex drainage systems like Kellogg Canyon and Barrel Canyon. This 2016 record shows the primitive infrastructure and natural corridors used to navigate the border between Texas and Mexico near the convergence of Brewster County and the northern reaches of Coahuila.
