About this map

The Rio Grande Rio Bravo serves as the primary dividing line in this borderland region, marking the international boundary between Texas and the Mexican state of Nueva Leon. Along the southern banks, the settlement of Colombia stands as a focal point near the river's bend, while the Mexican side is characterized by numerous small ranchos and named locales such as San Javier, B la Presa, and San Vicente. The landscape is etched with ephemeral drainages including the Uña de Gato and La Guajolota, which flow toward the river through a series of low hills and plains.

On the American side, the terrain features distinct landmarks like the Lomas Los Frentones and the drainage of Ramirez. The map documents a network of rural holdings and water features such as B Largo and Bordos Tepeyac in the north. This provisional survey provides a detailed look at the rural infrastructure of the early 1980s, noting scattered habitations like Maria Luisa and El Recuerdo that define the local geography of the Webb County border area.
