2010 Map of Quemado East

About this map

The Rio Grande serves as the international boundary on this 2010 survey of the Maverick County borderlands. The landscape is defined by the Maverick County Canal, which skirts the western edge of the settlements of Quemado and Normandy. This region of south Texas exhibits a network of rural routes such as FM 1665, Silver Bridge Rd, and Cemetery Rd, which leads toward the Valley Cemetery south of Normandy. The terrain is marked by distinctive drainages like Cañon Grande and Cañon Chiquita that feed into the valley, while the eastern portion of the map is dominated by Lowrance Lake and the Lowrance Lake Dam. The layout of the small towns reveals a grid-like settlement pattern in an otherwise arid landscape of creek beds and draws, such as Quemado Creek, highlighting the importance of managed water resources in this border territory.
