2022 Map of Cerros Prietos

About this map

The High Desert terrain of Presidio County is captured here in this recent topographic survey, dominated by a network of drainage systems and high-elevation relief. Highway 67 cuts through the western portion of the quadrangle, serving as the primary corridor for movement through this arid landscape. The map highlights the natural hydrology of the region, specifically Sauceda Creek in the southeast and Dunman Creek in the northeast. These seasonal waterways and the complex contour patterns illustrate the drainage basins that define the local geography, showing how water moves through the desert breaks toward larger basins beyond the map's edge.
