2016 Map of West of Salt Well

About this map

The Rio Grande cuts through the northeast corner of this 2016 survey, tracing the international boundary between the United States and Mexico. This specific area within Maverick County is defined by a dendritic network of ephemeral creek beds and drainage channels that feed toward the river. The landscape is sparse, reflecting a primarily rural or ranching environment where the topography is shaped more by water flow and natural contours than by dense human settlement. It serves as a detailed record of the borderlands' physical geography, capturing the winding path of the river and the surrounding arid terrain during the early 21st century.
