Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River carves through the southwestern corner of this sheet, defining the international boundary between United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos. Located within the southernmost reach of Brewster Co, Texas, the terrain is dominated by the steep walls of Mariscal Canyon where the river bends through the Chihuahuan Desert. This remote borderland is protected as part of Big Bend National Park, preserving a landscape of ephemeral drainage networks and rugged canyons. The map illustrates the stark contrast between the intricate arroyos feeding the river and the desolate, high-plateau geography that extends south into Ocampo, Coahuila.
