2016 Map of Isla Mesteno

About this map

The Rio Grande (also labeled here as the Rio Bravo) defines the international border between Webb Co, Texas, and the United States and Mexico. This survey highlights a distinctive river bend around Isla Mesteno, where the river's path creates a significant land feature along the boundary. The settlement of El Cenizo appears on the Texas side, showing a compact grid of streets including Jimenez. The map identifies several specific family-named locations or tracts along the river, including Cadena, Morales, Rodriguez, and Hernandez, which provide valuable data for genealogists and local historians tracing land ownership and residency in this borderland corridor. Inland, the landscape is largely characterized by drainage patterns and the path of Ranch Rd 6050A.
