The Rio Grande snakes through this high-desert border region, defining the international boundary where West Texas meets Coahuila. This 2013 survey documents a landscape of dramatic elevation changes and sparse human settlement, centered around significant transit points and cattle operations. Infrastructure is concentrated near the river at Heath Crossing and the Gerstäcker Bridge, which connect to the Heath Canyon Airport and provide access to the remote interior.
