Rio Grande waters define the international boundary at the far southern edge of Texas in this 2010 survey. This specific quadrangle captures a bend in the river that separates the United States of America and Mexico, highlighting a quiet stretch of the borderlands. The most prominent landmark on the American side is the Old San Joaquin Ranch, situated near a sweeping curve of the river. The map illustrates the sparsely settled character of the immediate riverfront at the start of the decade, where the landscape is primarily shaped by the winding waterway and private ranching interests.
