2016 Map of Pueblo Nuevo

About this map

The Rio Grande serves as the prominent western boundary in this remote corner of Presidio County, where the international border with Mexico follows the river's winding course. This high-desert landscape is defined by its drainage systems and critical water sources, including Naegele Springs, Ranchita Spring, and the wetland area of La Cienega. The transport network is sparse, centered on FM 170 and rugged routes like Hot Springs Creek Rd, which provide access to isolated landmarks such as Hot Springs Airport. Numerous ephemeral waterways, such as Sanguijuela Arroyo, Arroyo Chupaderos, and Tijeras Arroyo, carve through the terrain, illustrating the dramatic hydrology of the Trans-Pecos. The placement of Chupadera Pila and various spring sites highlights the historical importance of reliable water for ranching and survival in this arid borderland environment.
