2010 Map of Neely Arroyo

About this map

Fort Quitman sits at a strategic bend along the Rio Grande, marking a significant historical intersection of the international border and desert passage. This 2010 survey delineates the stark terrain of the Trans-Pecos, where the Quitman Mountains rise sharply to the east of the river valley. The map documents the arid drainage systems that define the local geography, including McClintock Arroyo and Arroyo Rodriquez, which cut through the landscape toward the river. Local habitation and land use are centered on the Neely Ranch and supported by water features like Cowan Tank and Neely Tank. Transportation in this remote borderland relies on rugged routes such as Esperanza Rd and Quitman Pass Rd, which provide access to the canyons and the Quitman Cemetery near the old fort site.
