San Vicente occupies a quiet position along the international border in Big Bend National Park, situated where the river makes a pronounced bend south of Cuesta Carlota. This 2016 survey traces the arid desert landscape dominated by drainage systems like Tornillo Cr, Glenn Draw, and Juniper Draw, all feeding toward the Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River. The map provides clear evidence of the historical transit routes through this harsh terrain, including the Old Ore Rd and the path leading to the geothermal waters at Boquillas Hot Springs. The boundary between the United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos is clearly defined by the path of the Rio Grande, illustrating the proximity of these neighboring desert regions.
