About this map

The Rio Grande serves as the international boundary between the United States of America and Mexico in this borderlands region. The small settlement of Ruidosa sits along FM 170, marking a central point for local navigation and history. The landscape is defined by the winding river and the dry washes that drain into it, such as Arroyo Escondido and Tijeras Arroyo.

Historically significant river access points like Sparks Crossing and La Presa Crossing illustrate the long-standing importance of water crossings in this arid environment. Roads like Hot Springs Rd and Pinto Canyon Rd connect the isolated riverfront to the interior terrain of Pinto Canyon. This survey captures the sparse but vital infrastructure that supports ranching and border life in Presidio County.
