About this map

The border community of Presidio anchors this landscape where the Rio Grande marks the international boundary between the United States and Mexico. The terrain is defined by a dense network of desert washes and ephemeral drainages, including Alamito Creek, Cibolo Creek, and Arroyo Arenoso, which carve through the high ground of Loma Pelona and Casa Piedra.

Settlement patterns follow the river valley and major roads like FM 170, with residential development extending into the flats along Millington Boulevard and Texas Avenue. Genealogical interest is found at Desert Hills Cemetery in the north and Casa Blanca Cemetery further south, providing localized points of reference within this vast alluvial plain. The map documents the modern footprint of a historic trade gateway, where Stockyard Road and various cattle-related infrastructure hint at the area's enduring ranching economy.
