The Rio Grande serves as the dominant geographical and political boundary in this 2019 survey of Maverick County, marking the border between the United States and Mexico. This sparsely populated riverine landscape is defined by its drainage systems and managed water resources, such as Cage Lake Number 2 and the adjacent Carter Lake Number 1 and Carter Lake Number 2. These features, along with intermittent waterways like Cuervo Cr and Tovar Cr, suggest a terrain primarily shaped by seasonal water flow and livestock ranching. The map illustrates how human development in this borderland is limited to essential water management and access routes, preserving the stark character of the desert shrubland near the international line.
