1983 Map of Palafox SW

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Rio Grande frontage and the international boundary between Webb County, Texas, and Coahuila, Mexico, anchor this topographic study. The landscape is defined by traditional rancho names and small clusters of settlement typical of the Rio Grande Valley in the early 1980s. Villa Hildago stands near the riverbank, supported by a local infrastructure of landing strips and utility lines like the 34.5 KV transmission route. The map documents a rugged terrain of ephemeral drainages such as Cañada Galvez and named hills like Loma El Gorrito. Local ranching footprints are visible through sites like Brasil, Santa Marta, and Rancho Nuevo. The presence of Bordos las Hermanas and Bordos Santa Fe indicates essential water management practices in this arid border environment, where seasonal creeks like Agua Verde cross the rolling brushland toward the international line.
