2019 Map of Las Vegas De Los Ladrones

About this map

Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River defines this stretch of the international border, where the Rio Grande carves through the arid landscape of Brewster County. The topography is dominated by deeply incised drainage systems, most notably Reagan Canyon and Big Canyon, which channel toward the river from the high ground. The namesake settlement, Las Vegas de los Ladrones, sits on the northern bank of the river, positioned within a significant bend that highlights the isolation and scale of this borderland environment. This 2019 survey illustrates the dramatic elevation changes and the strict demarcation of the United States of America - Estados Unidos Mexicanos boundary, showing how the physical geography of the river dictates the political line.
