About this map

Rio Grande waters mark the international boundary along the northern edge of this West Texas landscape, flowing through a region of complex drainage networks. This survey of the Big Bend region reveals a terrain dominated by deeply incised seasonal washes and arroyos that feed toward the river valley. The small settlement at Pettits stands as one of the few named locations in this arid, sparsely populated reach of Brewster County. The map provides a detailed view of the topographical contours that define the transition from high desert plateau down to the riverbank, tracing the natural landforms that have governed movement and land use in this borderland area for generations.
