2022 Map of Schroder Arroyo

About this map

The Rio Grande serves as the international boundary between the United States and Mexico along this stretch of West Texas. The terrain is defined by the high ridges of the Quitman Mountains and the winding course of the river, which creates distinct features like the Little Big Bend and an Oxbow Lake near the southern edge of the quadrangle. High desert hydrology is evident in the numerous water tanks scattered throughout the canyons, such as Red Rock Tank, Camp Tank, and Escondido Tank, which were vital for livestock and survival in this arid environment.
