About this map

The Rio Grande serves as the defining international boundary along the northeastern edge of this Hudspeth County quadrangle, separating the United States of America from Mexico. The landscape is dominated by the arid desert terrain of the Trans-Pecos, where numerous unnamed dry washes drain towards the river valley. Infrastructure is concentrated in the corner of the American side, where Ranch Rd 192 provides transit parallel to the water. The presence of the Dave Gill Canal and the natural drainage of Arroyo Balluco illustrate the vital importance of water management and natural hydrology in this borderland region. While the interior remains largely undeveloped, these features highlight the historic and modern reliance on the river corridor for transportation and irrigation.
