The Rio Grande snakes through this arid Presidio County landscape, serving as the international boundary between the United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos. This 2019 survey documents a sparsely populated borderland where small settlements like Indio and Ochoa are connected by the winding path of Fm 170. The topography is defined by ephemeral drainages such as Arroyo Borracho, Las Corrientes Cr, and Spencer Cr that feed toward the river valley. Local history is anchored by the Spencer Cem and ranching access provided by El Campito Ranch Rd and Rio Bravo Rd. The map illustrates the isolated nature of these riverfront communities in the Chihuahuan Desert, highlighting the intersection of transit corridors and the natural river course.
