2022 Map of Isla Mesteno

About this map

The international boundary of the United States of America follows the winding course of the Rio Grande in this section of Webb County. The map documents the southern expansion of the Laredo metropolitan area, specifically the communities of Rio Bravo and El Cenizo. These settlements are characterized by a dense grid of local streets such as Jimenez and Hernandez, contrasting sharply with the open brushland to the west. Local history is anchored at the El Cenzio Cem, while the infrastructure of the border region is represented by Ranch Rd 6050A. The landscape beyond the river corridor is marked by numerous small drainage features and ephemeral streams that feed into the primary river valley.
