Georef. RemarksNo such "Rio Verde" at Rascon, S.L.P., as described by DA Jordan & JO Snyder. Rascon is bound on N by Arroyo Valladares, on E by Rio Gallinas, and S by Rio Tamasopo. These, along with the Rio Valles, later on flow into Rio Tampaon, which is later joined by Rio Moctezuma to create Rio Panuco, flowing into the Gulf of Mexico.
