About this map

Redford and the nearby settlement of Polvo sit along the winding course of the Rio Grande in Presidio County, serving as quiet outposts on the international border between the United States and Mexico. The landscape is dominated by the steep drainage systems of the Big Bend region, where deep cuts like Bofecillos Canyon, El Calabazar Canyon, and Auras Canyon carve through the high desert toward the river valley.

Local history is centered on small community landmarks and the simple road network that connects these remote points. Cemetery Rd leads to the Redford Cem, providing a focal point for genealogical interest in this borderland territory. The presence of Water Tower Rd and El Polvo Rd indicates the vital infrastructure supporting life in this arid environment along FM 170, tracing the natural contours of the river as it flows toward Los Burras Canyon.
