2012 Map of Indio

About this map

The Rio Grande serves as the central focal point for this borderland geography, weaving through the arid terrain between Presidio County, Texas, and Chihuahua, Mexico. The settlement of Indio sits near the river's edge, supported by the path of Ranch Road 170, which follows the river corridor. Small outposts and place names like Borrachio and Ochoa suggest a sparse but established presence in this high-desert environment. Local history is anchored by the Spencer Cem near the banks of Spencer Cr, providing a tangible link to early families in the region. The landscape is defined by dry drainage features such as Arroyo Borracho and Wilson Arroyo, illustrating the complex network of ephemeral watercourses that feed into the main river channel during periods of rain.
