2010 Map of Bandera Mesa South

About this map

Bandera Mesa and Tascotal Mesa dominate this high-desert landscape in Presidio County, where the terrain is defined by a series of significant drainage systems. The Alamo de Cesario Creek and its tributary, the South Fork Alamo de Cesario Creek, carve through the region alongside Terneros Creek and Fresno Creek. This 2010 survey illustrates a sparsely developed ranching or pastoral environment, with very few human-made landmarks beyond the primitive thoroughfare labeled Main Rd. The topography is further interrupted by Panther Canyon, reflecting the intricate water-carved geology of the Trans-Pecos region. Researchers interested in Texas landform history can find clear evidence of how ephemeral water sources have dictated the movement and settlement patterns in this remote western expanse.
