2002 Map of Rio Grande City South

About this map

The Rio Grande Bravo serves as a winding international boundary in this 2002 survey of the borderlands between Starr County, Texas, and Tamaulipas, Mexico. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge, which provides a significant buffer along the river's northern banks. This map is particularly notable for its detailed coverage of both sides of the border, featuring the Mexican city of Camargo and the smaller Nuevo Camargo, alongside the Estación Camargo rail site. On the American side, Rio Grande City is anchored by U.S. Customs and the Puente de Cuota Aduana, emphasizing the cross-border transit that defines this region's economy. The map also identifies the Monumento Batalla Santa Gertrudis to the south, highlighting the area's complex military and revolutionary history.
