2012 Map of Schroder Arroyo

About this map

Rio Grande waters define the southern reaches of this landscape, where the river carves distinctive bends such as The Little Big Bend and leaves behind the crescent-shaped Oxbow Lake. The arid terrain is marked by a network of drainage systems like Schroder Arroyo and Asebuches Arroyo, alongside curiously named landmarks including The Ice Cream Cone and The Palisades. Human presence is sparse, centered on working agricultural sites such as Porcher Ranch and Love Ranch. Water management is critical in this borderland environment, evidenced by numerous tanks like Echo Tank and Escondido Tank, as well as the essential Deer Spring. Ranch Road 192 provides the primary transit corridor through the river valley, connecting the remote ranching outposts to the wider region.
