2013 Map of California Creek

About this map

The Amistad Reservoir dominates this landscape in Val Verde County, where the expansive water levels have transformed the ancient drainages of the Rio Grande basin. The northern reaches of the reservoir are defined by the submerged confluence of several drainage systems, including California Cr and Evans Cr, which carve deep into the Texas limestone. Protected as part of the Amistad Ntl Rec Area, the shoreline is characterized by complex inlets and high-relief features like Castle Canyon. This modern survey illustrates the development of recreational and residential access in the area, particularly along the southern portions of the map where Box Canyon Dr and Salem Point Rd provide passage to the water's edge, alongside a network of smaller paths such as Sunrise Trl and Deer Trl.
