2019 Map of San Vicente

About this map

Big Bend National Park dominates this desert landscape, where the international boundary follows the winding course of the Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River. The settlement of San Vicente sits near the river's edge, positioned between the arid flats and the rising elevations of the Sierra del Carmen. Transport through this remote corridor relies on primitive routes like Old Ore Rd and the track to Boquillas Hot Springs, reflecting the area's history as a rugged borderland crossing. Natural landmarks such as Black Knob and Cuesta Carlota rise above a complex drainage system defined by Tornillo Cr, Glenn Draw, and Juniper Draw. This modern survey illustrates the persistent isolation and geologic character of the Big Bend region, where named trails like La Cloclia still navigate the desert scrub.
