2010 Map of Taylor Canyon

About this map

Dryden Crossing sits at the southern edge of this West Texas landscape, where the international boundary between the United States and Mexico is defined by the winding course of the Rio Grande. The terrain is deeply incised by a series of significant drainage systems, most notably Taylor Canyon, Sanderson Canyon, and Jabalina Canyon, which flow toward the river through the high country. These canyons create a network of natural corridors that lead to critical river access points such as Agua Verde Crossing and Paso Verde Crossing. Along the northern bends of the river, isolated landmarks like Middle Watering and the Cable Hills provide further navigational context in a region where the dry creek beds of Garcia Creek and Sanderson Creek dictate the movement of both water and traveler alike.
