2013 Map of Neely Arroyo

About this map

Fort Quitman stands as a focal point along the meandering course of the Rio Grande on this international border survey. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of the Chihuahuan Desert, where numerous ephemeral washes like McClintock Arroyo and Neely Arroyo cut through the arid terrain toward the river valley. The presence of the Quitman Cem near the northern boundary and the Neely Ranch to the south suggests a long-standing human connection to this borderland, even as the population remains sparse.
