The Rio Grande serves as the central artery and international boundary in this early 1990s survey, dividing Presidio Co, Texas, from the Estados Unidos Mexicanos. Near the river's edge, the settlement of Redford sits at the base of the high, arid peaks of the Bofecillos Mountains. A network of intermittent drainages, including Arroyo Auras and Arroyo Burras, carve through the landscape toward the river. To the south, the terrain rises into the Sierra Tarahumara, while a local Levee suggests the critical management of seasonal water flow in this desert environment. This map highlights the stark contrast between the established topographic data of the American side and the Mexican interior, where information is less dense, providing a clear picture of the border region's physical geography before modern expansion.
