1979 Map of Presidio East

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Rio Grande Bravo serves as the international boundary on this late 1970s survey, where the river valley supports a network of small settlements and irrigation infrastructure. The Texas side centers on Presidio, showing the local High Sch, several Water Tanks, and a Landing Strip to the north. Historical sites are prominent, including Fort Leaton State Historic Site and several burial grounds like Presidio Cem and Case Blanca Cem. South of the border in Chihuahua, Mexico, the landscape transitions from riverbank communities like El Zapatero.. and Puliques into the dramatic terrain of the Cerros Las Cuchillas. Numerous arroyos, including Arroyo Cibolo and Arroyo Tortola, carve through the arid high desert, while scattered Pumping Stations and wells indicate the vital importance of water management in this borderland corridor.
