About this map

The Rio Grande serves as the international boundary between United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos on this 2016 survey. The International Bridge connects the southern reaches of Del Rio to its neighbor across the water, illustrating the modern infrastructure that facilitates movement between Texas and Coahuila. To the north, the Del Rio International Airport and the expanding residential grid of Cienegas Terrace represent the contemporary footprint of this border community.

Water remains a central theme of the landscape, defined by San Felipe Springs and the meandering path of San Felipe Creek. For the local historian, the map preserves the location of several important burial grounds, including the Old San Felipe Cem, San Felipe Cem, and Westlawn Cem. These sites, along with landmarks like Round Mtn, provide a geographic framework for understanding the settlement's growth away from the river banks and toward the high ground near San Felipe Cr.
