2016 Map of Neely Arroyo

About this map

The Rio Grande serves as the international boundary between Hudspeth Co Texas and the United States of America Estados Unidos Mexicanos in this 2016 topographic study. This arid reach of the borderlands is defined by significant elevation changes, rising from the riverbed into the southern reaches of the Quitman Mountains. The landscape is carved by numerous desert drainage systems, including the McClintock Arroyo and Neely Arroyo, which flow toward the river valley. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by the isolated Quitman Cem and a network of unpaved tracks such as Quitman Pass Rd and Ranch Rd 192. Strategic water points like Cowan Tank and Neely Tank underscore the importance of water management in this dry, mountainous terrain where Black Canyon and Big Tank Canyon cut through the high ridges.
