2019 Map of Taylor Canyon

About this map

The Rio Grande carves a deep, winding boundary along the southern edge of this Terrell County landscape, marking the international border between the United States of America and Mexico. This area is defined by the protected waters of the Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River, where the river's path is constrained by high canyon walls. Inland to the north, a complex drainage network has sculpted the terrain into prominent features like Sanderson Canyon and the branching Taylor Canyon. These dry washes, including Jabalina Canyon and Britton Canyon, lead toward the elevated Cable Hills. The map captures the stark, unpopulated character of this Chihuahuan Desert environment, showing a topography dominated by erosion and natural watercourses like Garcia Cr.
