2016 Map of Mesa De Anguila
USGS Topo · Published 2016About this map
Santa Elena Canyon serves as a dramatic centerpiece along the international boundary where the Rio Grande carves through the limestone of the Chihuahuan Desert. This remote sector of Big Bend National Park is defined by the high, flat-topped Mesa de Anguila, which rises sharply from the riverbank in Brewster County. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns and relief of the Trans-Pecos, including isolated peaks such as Sierra Aguja and specialized desert water features like Tinaja Blanca and Tinaja Rana Tinaja Grande. These natural tanks and canyons emphasize the vital role of water in an arid landscape, marking the intersection of Texas and the Estados Unidos Mexicanos.
