2010 Map of Quemado West

About this map

Quemado sits at the heart of this borderland survey, positioned along the edge of the Rio Grande as it snakes between the United States and Mexico. The landscape is defined by the vital water management infrastructure of the Maverick County Canal, which parallels the river and supports the agricultural activity of this arid region. The local transportation network is grounded in a series of named rural routes such as FM 1664 and several family-named roads including Stockley Rd, Edwards Rd, and Abdalla Rd. To the north, Las Moras Creek feeds toward the river, marking a distinct natural boundary in an area otherwise characterized by the straight-line geometry of irrigation channels and township-range divisions. The proximity of the international border and the canal system illustrates the intersection of geopolitics and water rights in South Texas.
