Laredo Map Art

Laredo sits on the Rio Grande's sharp curve where the river bends sharply northward, with Mexico directly across the water. The street grid runs perpendicular to the river's meander, creating blocks that shift direction as they follow the waterway inland. Interstate 35 cuts through the western side of the city, while the historic downtown clings to the riverbank where the International Bridge connects to Nuevo Laredo.
