2010 Map of Solis OE S

About this map

The Rio Grande cuts through this high-desert boundary landscape along the international border, marking the division between the United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos. This 2010 survey focuses on a remote section of the borderlands where the river is the primary geographical anchor for a wide expanse of open terrain. The map reflects a moment in the modern era of border monitoring, showing the natural course of the waterway as it dictates the shape of the national frontier. While the land around the river remains largely undeveloped on this sheet, the precise survey lines illustrate the complex task of mapping this binational environment.
