2019 Map of Bandera Mesa South

About this map

The high plateau country of the Trans-Pecos is defined here by the massive formations of Tascotal Mesa and Bandera Mesa. This landscape is bisected by the county line between Presidio and Brewster counties, a boundary that runs across a complex system of seasonal drainages. These include Alamo de Cesario Creek and its southern fork, as well as Terneros Creek and Fresno Creek. To the south, access into this desert terrain is provided by Big Bend State Park Road and Saucedo Road, which navigate the elevation changes near Old Ranch Canyon. The map illustrates a contemporary view of this remote ranching and conservation corridor, where the topography transitions into the steep relief of Point Draw.
