About this map

The Rio Grande forms the international boundary between the United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos at the southwestern edge of this Maverick County landscape. Life here is oriented around the water and the roads, with the settlement of Normandy positioned near the fertile river bottomlands. Irrigation and water management are evident through features like Ditch Number Fifteen and the Parra Tank, supporting agricultural activity in an arid environment.

Further north, the community of Quemado sits along the transit corridor of Del Rio Blvd. The topography is defined by the drainage of Quemado Cr and the prominent elevations of Cañon Grande and Cañon Chiquita. For those tracing local roots, the Valley Cem is a significant genealogical landmark, while family-named roads such as Bingham Rd, Taylor Rd, and Marines Rd speak to the long-standing land tracts and local history of this borderland region.
