2010 Map of Salt Well

About this map

The Rio Grande serves as the dominant geographical and political feature of this region, marking the international boundary between the United States and Mexico in Webb County. This river corridor, shown here in the early 21st century, exhibits the natural meandering of the international border as it winds through the arid terrain. The landscape is defined by drainage patterns like Borrego Creek, which flows toward the river from the interior ranchlands. Transportation through this remote border area is anchored by the historic Eagle Pass Rd, a route that reflects the long-standing connectivity required for border security and regional commerce between Laredo and Eagle Pass. This survey provides a clear view of the sparse infrastructure and natural watercourses that define the ranching country of South Texas.
