2019 Map of Cuervo Creek

About this map

The Rio Grande forms a prominent international boundary between the United States and Mexico along the southern edge of this Webb County landscape. North of the river, the terrain is defined by a network of drainage creeks and stock tanks, including Cuervo Creek, Tordillo Creek, and Sauses Tank. The outskirts of Laredo show a pattern of modern industrial development, particularly around the World Trade Center Loop, contrasted with established settlements like Los Corralitos and Ranchos Penitas West. A legacy of resource extraction is evident in the naming of roads such as Tin Mine West Rd and Mercury Mine Rd near Los Minerales. Local history is anchored by the Tordillo Cemetery in the northwest, while the semi-arid environment is highlighted by features like the Loma de las Potrancas and scattered water bodies such as Middle Pasture Lake and La Presa Azul.
