2016 Map of Rio Grande Village

About this map

Rio Grande Village sits at a critical bend of the Rio Grande, where the river serves as the international boundary between the United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos. This landscape, preserved within Big Bend National Park, is defined by its geothermal features and deep limestone corridors. The map records several vital water sources in this arid environment, including Boquillas Warm Springs, Gambusia Spring, and Hot Springs. To the east, the river carves through the dramatic Boquillas Canyon, while the north is marked by prominent landforms such as Ernst Basin and Cuesta Carlota. Transportation is limited to a few rugged routes like Old Ore Rd and the river crossing at Boquillas Xing, reflecting the isolation of this borderland region.
