2010 Map of Alamo Spring

About this map

Ocotillo Siding stands as a primary point of interest in this arid Presidio County landscape, where transportation and intermittent waterways define the region's geography. The map reveals a complex network of ephemeral drainages that converge and diverge across the high desert terrain, including the significant runs of Alamito Creek and Cienega Creek. These watercourses, along with Alamo Creek and Black Hills Creek, illustrate the natural drainage patterns that have long dictated movement and settlement in this part of West Texas. HWY 169 provides the modern corridor through the area, following the path of least resistance through the drainage basins. The presence of Tortolo Creek in the northwest further emphasizes the rugged hydrological network that characterizes this transition between the Chihuahuan Desert and the regional highlands.
