2010 Map of Eagle Mountains SW

About this map

The Rio Grande snakes along the international border in this 2010 survey of the desert landscape south of the Quitman Mountains. This arid region is defined by significant drainages and seasonal washes, including the prominent Red Light Draw and Mule Canyon. The topography reflects a sparsely populated area where the primary human footprint consists of isolated ranching infrastructure and desert roads. The presence of Guerra Farm near the riverbank illustrates the limited agricultural activity possible in this corner of the borderlands. A network of rural tracks such as Bramlett Rd, August Well Rd, and Pinkie Tank Rd provide the only access through the scrub and canyons, highlighting the remote nature of the terrain between the mountains and the river.
