2010 Map of Box Canyon

About this map

Amistad Reservoir dominates this borderland landscape, where its winding, dendritic shoreline creates a complex system of inlets and peninsulas along the Rio Grande. The settlement of Amistad Acres sits on the eastern shore of the reservoir, served by local routes like Holman Dr and Box Canyon Dr. The terrain is characterized by deep drainage systems, most notably the namesake Box Canyon and the seasonal flows of Live Oak Creek and Cow Creek which feed into the reservoir from the north. This 2010 topographic record precisely delineates the international boundary between the United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos, following the submerged river channel within the reservoir. The road network, including Rd 8032, provides access to this remote region of Val Verde County, supporting the residential and recreational development centered around the water.
