2010 Map of Redford

About this map

Redford and the settlement of Polvo anchor this remote section of Presidio County along the international border in the early 21st century. The Rio Grande serves as the dividing line between the United States and Mexico, winding through a landscape defined by deep drainages such as Bofecillos Canyon and El Calabazar Canyon. Local transportation is centered on FM 170, which follows the river's course, while Bofecillos Rd strikes north into the interior. Cultural landmarks like the Redford Cemetery and Polvo Crossing suggest a long history of trans-border movement and community life in this arid river valley. Further upstream, the Mulato Dam marks a point of water management on the river, situated near several significant desert washes including Auras Canyon and Las Burras Canyon.
