2016 Map of San Ygnacio

About this map

The Rio Grande forms a sweeping, meandering international boundary in this 2016 survey, defining the rugged landscape of Zapata County along the border with Mexico. The historic community of San Ygnacio sits directly on the riverbanks, its residential grid including streets named Washington Ave, Laredo St, and Hidalgo St. The map details the transition from riparian lowlands to the dissected brush country inland, where several drainage features like El Arroyo Zopilote and Arroyo San Francisco cut through the terrain toward the river. Local heritage is clearly marked through burial sites such as Uribe Cem and Cementerio del Pueblo, alongside the more modern infrastructure of the Corralitos Airport. To the south, the settlement of Ramireno is situated near the northern reaches of the Falcon Reservoir, showing the impact of mid-century water management on this border region.
