2022 Map of Cuervo Creek

About this map

The Rio Grande serves as the international boundary on this survey of northwestern Laredo, where industrial development and ranching heritage meet the river. The landscape is defined by the logistics of the modern border economy, centered on the World Trade Center Loop and major transit corridors like Mines Rd FM 1472 N. Despite the urban expansion, the map preserves the names of earlier rural life, including the Tordillo Cem and prominent local elevations like Loma de las Potrancas. Numerous water catchments such as Middle Pasture Lake and Salinas Tank dot the brush country, illustrating the water management essential for South Texas ranching. Settlements such as Ranchos Penitas West and Los Corralitos are shown alongside legacy road names like Mercury Mine Rd and Sulfur Mine Rd, hinting at the mineral extraction history of this Webb County terrain.
