1971 Map of Redford

About this map

The Rio Grande carves a deep international boundary through the Big Bend country in the early 1970s, anchoring a landscape defined by desert hydrology and isolated settlements. The village of Redford serves as the primary hub, where the presence of a Po and the Redford Cem suggests a long-standing community tied to the narrow fertile strips along the river. To the southeast, the smaller locale of Polvo sits near Polvo Crossing, a traditional transit point across the water into Mexico.
