The Rio Grande snakes through the northeastern corner of this remote borderland, defining the international boundary between the United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos. This 2010 survey illustrates a sparsely developed desert landscape where water remains the primary geographical marker, notably featuring an Oxbow Lake formed by the shifting river channel. Accessibility in this arid terrain is limited to the Indian Hot Springs Rd, which winds through the river valley. The map provides a precise record of the river's path and the administrative border during a period of modern boundary management, showing the intersection of natural hydrology and national jurisdiction in a quiet stretch of the West Texas and Chihuahua borderlands.
