2010 Map of Cerros Prietos

About this map

Cienega Creek dominates this arid stretch of West Texas, carving its way southward through the center of the landscape. The drainage system is relatively sparse, with Dunman Creek entering from the northeast and Sauceda Creek appearing in the southeast. In the southwestern corner, the terrain transitions into the level expanse of Bunton Flat. This survey captures the region as it appeared in the early 21st century, showing the remote character of the Presidio County backcountry where human infrastructure is minimal, consisting primarily of a few isolated roads and boundary lines that traverse the high desert floor.
