1983 Map of Palafox SW

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

The Rio Grande Rio Bravo serves as the international boundary in this arid borderland between Webb County, Texas, and Coahuila, Mexico. The landscape is defined by traditional ranching settlements and water management features such as Agua Verde and various earthen dams, known locally as bordos. On the Mexican side, the village of Villa Hidalgo sits near a landing strip, while the surrounding terrain is dotted with small outposts like Rancho Nuevo and La Encantada. The map illustrates a cross-border environment where geographic features like Cañada Galvez and Los Encinos transition between nations. Sparse infrastructure, including a 345 KV power line and a deactivated telegraph or telephone line labeled TG (Fuera de Uso), underscores the isolation and utilitarian character of this Rio Grande region during the late twentieth century.
