About this map

The Rio Grande marks the international boundary in this 1917 survey, where the rugged terrain of West Texas meets the Mexican state of Coahuila. This landscape is defined by its isolation and its vital water sources, as shown by the naming of Black Water Hole, Blue Water Hole, and Middle Watering. The era's transit relies on primitive tracks like the Shaffer Crossing Road and Cable Crossing Road, which navigate the deep cuts of Sanderson Canyon and Shafter Canyon.
