1983 Map of Las Vegas De Los Ladrones SW

About this map

The Rio Grande Rio Bravo carves a sharp international divide through the desert landscape of Brewster County, separating the Black Gap Wildlife Management Area in Texas from the high terrain of Coahuila. This 1983 survey captures the Trans-Pecos region during a period of binational cooperation, with topographic data meticulously compiled from both American aerial photography and Mexican DGG sources. The landscape is defined by isolated peaks and seasonal drainages, including the prominent Cerro El Sombrero and Cerro Grande. While the river remains the primary geographic anchor, the interior is marked by named features such as La Tinaja del Toro and La Piedra Parada, which suggest a long history of livestock movement and local navigation through the arid canyons and washes of the Big Bend country.
