About this map

Rio Grande Village sits along the international boundary where the desert landscape meets the river's bend. This 2010 survey records a transition between the United States and Mexico, marked by the prominent Boquillas Crossing. Evidence of industrial history is found in the northern terrain, where the Ore Terminal Aerial Tramway once operated near Ernst Basin.

The landscape is defined by dramatic changes in elevation and geology, from the depths of Boquillas Canyon to the heights of the Sierra Del Caballo Muerto. Cultural and recreational sites are documented throughout the river corridor, including the Hot Springs and scenic vantage points like the Rio Grande Overlook and Boquillas Canyon Overlook. Local navigation follows historic paths such as the Old Ore Rd, which winds toward Dead Mans Curve.
