1974 Map of Quemado SE

About this map

The Rio Grande carves a sharp, serpentine international boundary between United States and Mexico in this South Texas borderland. The landscape is defined by the critical management of water in an arid environment, dominated by the engineered path of the Maverick County Canal. This infrastructure supports the local economy through features like the Pumping Sta, Filtration Plant, and Siphon, while Ditch No 15 and various laterals distribute the resource across the plain. Industrial and extractive activity is evident along the eastern ridges, where numerous Gravel Pit sites and a Mine are situated near U.S. Route 277. The presence of a Landing Strip and a Power Plant indicates a developing utility and transportation footprint along the river's edge, even as drainage features like Redondo Creek and Elm Creek continue to shape the natural topography.
