The Rio Grande serves as the international boundary in this remote stretch of West Texas and northern Mexico. On the northern bank, the arid landscape of Presidio Co is defined by a series of significant drainage systems, including McComb Canyon and Cold Water Canyon. The ephemeral flow of McComb Cr is supported by McComb Spring, a critical water source in this desert environment. Across the river lies the rugged terrain of the Estados Unidos Mexicanos, reflecting the shared geographical character of the borderlands. Further east, Chilicote Canyon and Musgrave Canyon contribute to the complex topography that feeds into Walker Cr, illustrating the natural watershed patterns that dominate this section of the Chihuahuan Desert.
