Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River defines the western edge of this remote borderland landscape in Brewster County. The terrain is dominated by the intricate drainage networks of the Chihuahuan Desert that flow toward the international boundary between the United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos. This 2019 survey documents the serpentine course of the Rio Grande as it carves through the canyonlands, a critical natural feature that has dictated the geopolitical boundaries and limited human settlement patterns in this arid region for centuries. The map provides a high-resolution look at the topography and dry wash systems that characterize the deep South Texas and Coahuila frontier.
