Amistad National Recreation Area
USGS Amistad National Recreation Area, Texas-CoahuilaDetailed topographic map printed on two sides. On one side is the Del Rio and vicinity map, which covers the main body of the recreation area around Amistad Reservoir.

US side of the Rio Grande, and the lower reaches of the Pecos River.
US side of the Rio Grande, and the lower reaches of the Pecos River.Map detail does not stop at the US border, but also includes the lands and waters on the Mexican side as well (part of the state of Coahuila. Elevation contours (in meters), show the form of the land, and are also included for the places submerged by the reservoir. Roads of all classes are plotted, with special symbols showing recreation sites such as campgrounds, picnic area, and boat launches, plus other facilities such as ranger stations, gas stations, restroom access, telephones, and grocery stores. Also shows boundary buoys.
Insets show details of two of the recreation sites, and another describes buoys, boating signs, basic boating rules, and storm warning flags. (Unfortunately, the insets cover up portions of the adjacent land areas outside the recreation area, so the maps does not cover as much of the possibly private lands in the area as it otherwise could.)
Supplementary text describes the recreation area, its activities, and basic regulations. This is presented in both English and Spanish. The legend describing map symbols is also bilingual.
