1983 Map of Eagle Pass West

About this map

The Rio Bravo Rio Grande serves as the international border between Texas and Coahuila in this 1983 provisional survey, connecting the urban centers of Eagle Pass and Piedras Negras. The map provides a detailed view of the transition from the Maverick County riverfront into the Mexican interior, where the grid-patterned streets of the city give way to a network of smaller communities and agricultural outposts. South and west of the main city center, settlements like Fuentes, San Joaquin, and Doctores sit along the winding path of the Rio Escondido. Numerous family-named landmarks and smaller locales such as Santa Maria de Guadalupe, El Sacrificio, and La Tinajita are scattered across the terrain, reflecting the decentralized settlement patterns of the region. Transportation and transit points are noted by several landing strips and a developed road network leading away from the international crossing.
