Pueblo Nuevo and the small settlement of Las Lulas overlook the Rio Grande in this borderland survey along the Texas-Chihuahua divide. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, with numerous seasonal watercourses including Arroyo El Muerto, Arroyo Santana, and Arroyo Sanguijuela carving through the terrain toward the river. Vital water sources are scattered throughout this arid region, marked by sites such as Ranchita Spring, Naegele Springs, and Tijeras Spring. Transportation is limited to the corridor of FM 170 and Hot Springs Rd, which connects remote ranching areas to the Hot Springs Airport. The map documents a sparsely populated but geographically complex environment where international boundaries follow the shifting path of the river, and traditional land use is reflected in features like the Chupadera Pila and various tinajas.
