About this map

The Rio Grande forms the western boundary of this borderlands landscape, where the river's winding path separates the United States from Mexico. This arid stretch of terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems like Indio Creek and Cuervo Creek, which feed into localized catchments such as Indio Lake and Lopez Tank. The land use is primarily agricultural and ranching, evidenced by the presence of the Indio Cattle Company and numerous family-named homesteads or property markers.

Local transport is centered on rural routes like FM 1021, which connects various family residences including those of H Melton, A Barnes, and L Kesling. The spatial distribution of these named sites—including R Baker and E Bradberry—suggests a sparse, ranch-oriented settlement pattern typical of the region's late 20th-century development. Small local tracks such as Don Sevasier Rd and Stone Ranch Rd provide the necessary access between these private holdings and the primary thoroughfares.
