2012 Map of Salt Well

About this map

The Rio Grande forms a sweeping international boundary through this arid landscape, defining the southern border of Webb County. This 2012 survey illustrates a sparse ranching environment where water sources and limited infrastructure dictate the pattern of human presence. The ephemeral path of Borrego Cr cuts through the terrain, eventually feeding toward the river valley, while the named location of Salt Well stands as a notable landmark in a region otherwise characterized by expansive open range. Connectivity in this borderlands area is maintained by Ranch Road 1021, which serves as the primary artery for local transit through the scrubland. This map is essential for understanding the modern layout of the Texas-Mexico border, showcasing the intersection of natural river morphology and the rural road networks that support local agriculture and border management.
