About this map

The Rio Grande forms a sweeping international border here, separating the United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos. This desert landscape in Presidio County is defined by complex drainage systems, where seasonal waterways like Arroyo Chupaderos, Arroyo Palo Blanco, and El Muerto Arroyo flow toward the river valley. The presence of isolated water sources such as Naegele Springs, Ranchita Spring, and Tijeras Spring indicates the critical importance of reliable water in this arid environment.

Transportation through the region relies on a few primary routes, including FM 170, which parallels the river, and secondary roads like Hot Springs Rd. The Hot Springs Airport serves as a remote outpost, highlighting the area's distance from major population centers. Geologic and topographic features such as Sanguijuela Arroyo and Naegele Cr further illustrate the rugged, dissected terrain of this borderlands reach.
