2019 Map of Redford SE

About this map

The Rio Grande serves as the dominant geographical and political boundary in this 2019 survey of the Presidio County borderlands. Following the river's northern bank, FM 170—locally known as the River Road—winds through a landscape defined by deep erosional cuts and significant elevation changes. The north-bank topography is heavily dissected by numerous drainage systems, including Tapado Canyon, Rancherias Canyon, and Canyon Colorado, which descend from the higher interior toward the international boundary. Human transit is largely confined to the narrow corridor of the roadway and recreational paths like the Hoodoos Trail. The map documents the intricate relationship between the winding river course and the rugged desert terrain, illustrating where the United States of America Estados Unidos Mexicanos border follows the natural thalweg of the waterway.
