2022 Map of McCutchen Ranch

About this map

The Rio Grande snakes along the international border in this portion of Presidio County, defining the limit between the United States of America and Mexico. The terrain is characterized by steep elevation changes and desert drainages that feed into the river basin. Sparse water sources such as Widow Spring serve as critical landmarks in an otherwise arid landscape defined by deep-cut arroyos. Geographic features like Arroyo San Carlos and McComb Cr demonstrate the natural drainage patterns of this remote border region, where topography dictated the isolation and placement of ranching outposts and trails during the early twenty-first century.
