1979 Map of Quemado West

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Rio Grande waters define the international border in the late 1970s, where the Mexico United States boundary follows the winding river course along the western edge of Maverick County. This arid landscape is shaped by the Maverick County Canal, which provides vital irrigation parallel to the river. The small settlement of Quemado serves as the local hub, situated near the intersection of various unimproved roads and an irrigation network. Evidence of energy extraction appears in the north with several Oil Wells, while a prominent Radio Tower stands near the town center. The map details the transition from the riparian zone at the riverbank to the interior plains, marked by numerous Wells and local drainage features like Las Moras Creek.
