The Rio Grande serves as the focal point of this international corridor, marking the shared boundary between the United States and Mexico. In the northeastern corner of the sheet, the urban expansion of El Paso is visible, centered around the recreational waters of Ascarate Lake and the residential community of Lakeside. The infrastructure of the era is defined by the Border Hwy, which runs parallel to the river, facilitating transport and movement along the edge of the city. This survey captures the geography of the borderlands during a period of modern development, documenting the intersection of natural riverine features and the structured grid of the Texas border city.
