About this map

The international border between the United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos follows the winding path of the Rio Grande through this desert landscape. Occupying the northeastern corner of the map, a portion of Big Bend National Park covers the elevated terrain of the Mesa de Anguila. This 2019 survey documents the stark geography where the river carves through high mesas, creating a natural boundary that defines the region's topography. The map primarily illustrates the drainage patterns and elevation contours of the area surrounding the river, showing how the landscape descends from the plateau toward the water's edge at the southern edge of the Big Bend region.
