About this map

The Rio Grande snakes through this high-desert borderland, defining the international boundary between the United States and Mexico. On the northern banks, the settlement of Presidio serves as the primary hub, with its grid of streets including Dupuy Ave and Juarez St reaching toward the river. The landscape is deeply carved by numerous ephemeral watercourses like Arroyo Melado and Cibolo Cr, which flow toward the main river channel.

Genealogical interest is centered on small rural clusters and burial grounds such as Haciendito and the associated Haciendita Cem. Farther east, family-named landmarks and cemeteries like Campo Santo Rodriguez and Campo Santo Hernandez are situated near La Junta, reflecting the deep-rooted local history of the river valley. Ranch Road 170 provides the main artery through the valley, connecting these small settlements and crossing the many arroyos that drain the surrounding basin.
