About this map

The Rio Grande forms the southern boundary of this high-desert landscape in Presidio County, marking the international border between the United States and Mexico. This 2022 survey captures a deeply dissected terrain characterized by a series of north-south drainage systems and dramatic relief. The map's primary features include McComb Canyon and the parallel Musgrave Canyon to the east, which define the rugged geography of this West Texas region.

Intermittent water sources such as McComb Cr and the vital McComb Spring indicate the scarce but essential hydrography that has shaped ranching and movement through these corridors. Other significant relief features like Chilicote Canyon and Cold Water Canyon further illustrate the complex network of arroyos and ridges that dominate the area north of the river, providing a clear record of the modern topography and property boundaries in this remote borderland.
