About this map

Big Bend National Park dominates the northeastern corner of this remote borderland survey, where the Rio Grande carves a winding path along the international boundary between Texas and Mexico. The dramatic elevation of the Mesa de Anguila overlooks the river's deep transit through the desert landscape, marking a prominent topographic feature within Brewster Co. This 2016 study captures the intricate drainage patterns of the Chihuahuan Desert, highlighting the stark contrast between the high tablelands and the riparian corridor. The map provides a precise look at the uninhabited terrain where the United States of America and Mexico meet, focusing on the natural contours and hydrography that define this isolated stretch of the frontier.
