The Rio Grande snakes through this remote stretch of Brewster County, defining the international boundary and carving prominent features like Mariscal Canyon and San Vincent Canyon. This 2012 survey illustrates a landscape where human habitation is sparse and tied closely to the river and its intermittent drainage systems. Small named locales such as Solis, Solis Landing, and Rooneys Place suggest a history of localized ranching or river crossings in an area otherwise dominated by the desert terrain of Iron Mtn and Sierra San Vincente.
