About this map

Pettits and the winding course of the Rio Grande define this remote borderland at the start of the twenty-first century. The map centers on a sparsely settled region where the international boundary between the United States of America and Mexico follows the natural path of the river. The survey captures the topographic transition along this river corridor, providing a clear record of the boundary at a specific point in its hydrologic history. Because the terrain is largely undeveloped, the few named locations such as Pettits take on increased significance for researchers and those interested in the rural geography of Brewster County during this era.
