2012 Map of Cerros Prietos

About this map

Cerros Prietos rises as a prominent landmark in this Presidio County landscape, where the high desert terrain is defined by seasonal watercourses. The drainage of Cienega Cr dominates the central portion of the area, winding through the arid topography alongside Sauceda Cr to the southeast and Dunman Cr in the northern reaches. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a region largely defined by its natural hydrology and minimal human infrastructure, with Route 67 serving as the primary transportation artery. The sparse distribution of named features reflects the remote character of this West Texas territory, where topographic contours and dry creek beds remain the most significant markers for navigation and land use.
