2010 Map of Zuberbueler Bend

About this map

The Amistad Reservoir Rio Grande dominates this international border crossing, where the backwaters of the reservoir fill the meandering canyon of the Rio Grande. At the heart of this landscape is Zuberbueler Bend, a dramatic peninsula created by the river's winding path through the borderlands. The map traces the boundary between the United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos, capturing the point where the deep waters of the reservoir define the territorial limits. Access to this remote stretch of the water is marked by Zuberbueler Ranch Rd, which provides a lone terrestrial link into the bend, reflecting the isolated ranching character of the region before it meets the inundated river valley.
