About this map

The Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River defines the southern boundary of this portion of Terrell County, marking the international border between the United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos. The landscape is a complex network of dry drainage systems that carve through the high desert, most notably Taylor Canyon and Jabalina Canyon. These canyons, along with smaller features like Britton Canyon and Sanderson Canyon, represent the primary topographic character of the region as it descends toward the Rio Grande.

Human presence is sparse in this 2022 survey, represented primarily by geographic markers like the Cable Hills and minor drainages such as Garcia Cr. The map highlights the preservation of the river corridor, emphasizing the conservation status of the water route compared to the surrounding privately held lands. It is a critical document for understanding the modern boundary and natural hydrologic features of the Texas borderlands.
