About this map

The Rio Grande Rio Bravo marks the international boundary in this early 1980s provisional survey, revealing a landscape of scattered ranching settlements and border infrastructure. The map details the Texas side in Maverick Co, where the Maverick County Canal cuts through the terrain near Rosita Creek. On the Mexican side, a denser network of named locales appears, including San Carlos, Rincón de San Nicolás, and El Saucito.

Evidence of shifting habitation is clear with the designation of Santo Domingo (Abandonado), while the presence of El Saucito (Aduana) highlights the administrative importance of this border region. Local history and genealogy interest is furthered by the placement of a Cem near Xilitla and numerous named sites like Los Laureles and Santa Elena, which define the social geography of the river valley during this era.
