2016 Map of Zuberbueler Bend NW

About this map

Rio Grande waters define the rugged international boundary between the Estados Unidos Mexicanos and the United States, flowing through a landscape of deep canyons and arid plateaus. This remote section of the border is preserved within the Amistad National Recreation Area in Val Verde Co, where the river's path is constrained by the limestone topography of the Chihuahuan Desert. The absence of settlements on this 2016 survey emphasizes the wilderness character of the region, focusing instead on the complex hydrography and elevation contours that mark the winding river corridor. It captures the modern cartographic state of this section of the border, providing a precise record of the shoreline and international markers during the early twenty-first century.
