2016 Map of Maverick Dam

About this map

The Rio Grande snakes through the arid borderlands, defining the international boundary between the United States and Mexico. This survey captures the hydrologic landscape of the Maverick County and Val Verde County line, centered on the Maverick Dam structure. The terrain is characterized by seasonal drainages such as Sycamore Cr and Isleta Cr, which feed toward the river from the Texas side. Evidence of rural land management is visible through features like the Mare Tank and the path of Bill Moody Ranch Rd. These labels reflect the ranching and water infrastructure required to sustain activity in this remote desert environment, where the river serves as both a vital resource and a geopolitical marker.
