2016 Map of Solis

About this map

The Rio Grande snakes through the high desert of West Texas, forming the international boundary between the United States and Mexico. This remote stretch of Brewster County is dominated by the dramatic topography of Big Bend National Park, where the river carves through deep geological features like Mariscal Canyon and San Vincent Canyon. The landscape is defined by its arid drainage systems, including Juniper Draw and Glenn Draw, which feed toward the river valley. Sparse human imprints are limited to remote access points such as Rooneys Pl and Solis Lndg. The small settlement of Solis sits near the river's edge, surrounded by prominent landmarks like Iron Mtn and the Sierra San Vincente range. This topographic survey illustrates the isolation and scale of the Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River corridor during the early twenty-first century.
