About this map

Rio Grande Rio Bravo winds through a complex landscape of international commerce and conservation at the southern edge of Texas. This 2002 update, based on earlier surveys, captures the critical infrastructure of the border, including the Progreso Toll Bridge and US Customs Immigration facilities connecting Progreso with Nuevo Progreso. The map illustrates a highly managed hydrological environment, where the Llano Grande North Floodway and Main Floodway intersect with extensive irrigation systems like the Main Supply Canal.

Ecological preservation is prominent along the river's bends, where the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge borders oxbow features such as Moon Lake and Lion Lake. In addition to the larger towns, smaller settlements and family landmarks such as Toluca, Relampago, and the San Pedro Ranch are documented, alongside numerous rural Cem sites that provide valuable data for local genealogical research.
