2016 Map of Palafox SW

About this map

The Rio Grande defines the eastern boundary of this remote landscape, carving a winding path along the international border between the United States of America and Mexico. Surveyed in the mid-2010s, the terrain within Webb County, Texas appears sparsely developed, dominated by the natural drainage patterns that feed toward the river. This map represents a quiet stretch of the borderlands, where the lack of major infrastructure highlights the prominence of the river as both a physical barrier and a geographic lifeline. The detailed hydrography of the Rio Grande basin provides a clear view of the complex river channel and adjacent floodplains as they existed during this recent survey era.
