2016 Map of Alamo Spring

About this map

Alamo Spring sits at the center of this Presidio County landscape, where water sources dictate the geography of the high desert. The drainage system is defined by the convergence of several ephemeral watercourses, most notably Alamito Cr and Cienega Cr, which carve through the arid terrain. The presence of Arroyo Monias in the northwest and Black Hills Creek to the southeast illustrates a topography dominated by erosion and runoff channels typical of the Trans-Pecos region. Transportation across this sparse environment is facilitated by Casa Piedra Rd and Hwy 169, which follow the natural contours of the land. This survey from the U.S. Geological Survey captures the modern state of these remote corridors and vital water points, providing essential data for those studying the hydrology and ranching infrastructure of West Texas.
