About this map

San Marino and the surrounding high desert of Presidio County are defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and remote ranching access roads. The landscape is dominated by the Black Hills in the northeast, which shed water toward Alamito Cr and Black Hills Creek. This area illustrates the specialized ranching geography of the Big Bend region, where named water sources like Rabago y Teran Springs provide critical markers in an otherwise arid environment.

Infrastructure is minimal, centered on long-distance routes such as HWY 169, Boficillos Rd, and the thoroughfare labeled Casa Piedra. In the southern reaches, the land drops toward the international boundary, marked by Arroyo Palo Blanco and the transition to FM 170 near the border of Usa Eum. The drainage patterns of Terneros Creek reveal the complex topography that has dictated movement and settlement patterns in this part of the Trans-Pecos for generations.
