2012 Map of West of Salt Well

About this map

The Rio Grande marks the northeastern boundary of this landscape along the border between Texas and Coahuila, Mexico. This portion of Maverick County is defined by an intricate network of intermittent stream beds and drainage patterns that feed toward the river valley. The topography is relatively subdued, with subtle elevation changes indicated by ten-foot contour intervals, illustrating the arid brushland characteristic of this region. Outside of the primary waterway, the area appears largely unsettled and undeveloped, lacking the roads or structures common in more populated quadrangles. The absence of named human landmarks emphasizes the isolation of this borderland territory during the early twenty-first century.
