The Rio Grande Bravo forms the international boundary in this high-desert region of West Texas and Chihuahua, where life centers around scattered water sources and cattle ranching. Small outposts like Chambers Ranch and Loveless Ranch are tied to the terrain by a network of unimproved roads and several Landing Strips, reflecting the isolation of the Mc Comb Canyon area in the late 1970s. The presence of a Drill Hole and features like the Flowing Well (Hot Sulphur) suggest exploratory interest in the subsurface geothermal and mineral potential of the basin.
