1979 Map of Lozier Canyon South

About this map

Rio Grande meanders through the international boundary in this late-1970s survey of the Chihuahuan Desert landscape. The terrain is defined by dramatic drainage systems, including the massive Lozier Canyon and Palma Canyon, which cut through the high ground of Terrell and Val Verde Counties. Isolated settlements such as Cinco de Mayo Ranch and the locality of Palma represent the sparse human footprint in this borderland. Numerous unpaved Jeep Trails provide the only access through the canyons toward the river, where the United States-Mexico border follows the deep bends of the water. The map reflects a landscape where water sources are vital, marking a Spring and Tank amidst the arid tributaries like Antonio Creek and Cow Creek.
