The Rio Grande winds through a landscape of coastal marshes and traditional river bends along the international boundary between the United States and Mexico. This mid-century survey captures the river's path before significant modern alterations, highlighting topographic features like the Stell-Lind Banco No 128 and the winding Tarpon Bend. Near the coast, the Boca Chica Highway terminates near Boca Chica Beach, passing through the elevations of Mesa del Gavilan and the Shifting Sand Dunes.
