1983 Map of Indio Creek

About this map

The Rio Bravo Rio Grande serves as the prominent international boundary on this 1980s-era survey, separating Texas from Mexico. The landscape is defined by the arid brushland of Maverick County, where a network of water catchment systems like Old Rock Tank, Coyote Tank, and Buena Vista Tank reveal the vital necessity of water management for local ranching and agriculture. Along the Mexican side of the river, small settlements such as San Jose, San Vicente, and Castillon are documented, including a small Cem near the riverbank. This map provides a detailed view of the winding course of Indio Creek as it flows toward the international border, capturing the quiet geography of this cross-border region before modern developments altered the rural character of the river valley.
