	Fort Clark > Battles for the Nueces Strip
		The term, "Nueces Strip," describes that portion of the area between the Rio Grande and the Nueces where the two rivers flow parallel to each other before the Nueces makes a bend to the east.
		In land nearly barren after years of grazing, the Nueces Strip—stretching from the Rio Grande to the Nueces River—offers little in the way of cover except the gray-leaved cenízo, Texas prickly pear, tasajillo, and the thorny brush: mesquite, agarito, granjeño, huisache, and catclaw.
		The Nueces Strip marked the confluence of the army's first two frontier assignments in Texas: maintaining the integrity of the nation's new southern border and defending the western settlements from Indian attack.

		Whether the southern border of an area of Mexico called Texas was the Nueces or not, seems irrelevant in a situation where the treaty specified the Rio Grande, and Mexico repudiated the treaty and claimed all of Texas, up to the prior US border.
		One interpretation might be that the first treaty (without explicitly recognizing the border at the Nueces, though perhaps implicitly so), set up a demilitarized zone within Mexico, between the Nueces and the Rio Grande, into which the Mexican army could not advance.
		With access to only the vague and ambiguous public treaty, some or many thought the border of the Texas republic was the Rio Grande, though historically the territory of Texas in Mexico was north from the Nueces.

		That the Rio Grande was the Western boundary of Louisiana as we purchased it of France in 1803.
