2016 Map of Vado De Piedra

About this map

The Rio Grande snakes through the northeastern corner of this remote borderland landscape, defining the international boundary between the United States and Mexico. This survey focuses on a sparsely populated stretch of Presidio Co, Texas, where the terrain is dominated by complex drainage systems and dry washes that eventually feed toward the river. The small settlement of Vado de Piedra sits just north of the border, providing a primary point of reference in an area defined by its geographic isolation and the physical presence of the river. Historically a transit point in the Trans-Pecos region, the map illustrates the stark contrast between the intricate natural hydrography and the limited human footprint on the land.
