How to read this map

Inflows include Rio Grande and Devils River. It drains through Rio Grande. It is shared by the United States and Mexico.

The blue outline marks the Amistad Reservoir as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Piedras Negras and Del Rio.

Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders, and fine dashed lines show state or province borders.

The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the outline of the Amistad Reservoir come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the outline is a guide to where the Amistad Reservoir is, not a surveyed boundary.
