2012 Map of Lajitas OE S

About this map

The Rio Grande winds through this sparsely labeled borderland, forming the primary physical landmark in a terrain defined by complex drainage patterns and desert arroyos. This 2012 survey illustrates the winding course of the international boundary near Chihuahua, Mexico, capturing the hydrographic detail of the river before it enters the more confined canyons to the east. The absence of named human settlements or infrastructure emphasizes the remote, natural state of the river valley during the early 21st century. Researchers can use this sheet to study the specific geomorphology of the riparian corridor and the numerous unnamed tributary channels that descend toward the riverbank.
