2013 Map of Taylor Canyon

About this map

Rio Grande frontage and the high desert terrain of Terrell County define this borderlands geography. This 2013 survey details a series of historical river access points, including Dryden Crossing, Paso Verde Crossing, and Sanderson Canyon Crossing, which served as vital links across the international boundary. The landscape is carved by significant drainages such as Sanderson Canyon and Taylor Canyon, leading toward the river from the interior of Texas. In a region where water is the primary architect of movement, landmarks like Middle Watering and the course of Garcia Cr indicate the rare and essential hydrological features of this arid environment. The map also captures the elevation changes across the Cable Hills, providing a clear view of the complex canyon systems like Jabalina Canyon and Britton Canyon that dominate this section of the Chihuahuan Desert.
