2022 Map of Cienega Mountains

About this map

The Cienega Mountains rise prominently in this Presidio County landscape, defined by a network of drainage systems and isolated access routes. The topographic detail highlights the winding course of Cienega Creek and its namesake tributary Cienega Cr, which serve as primary geographic anchors for the territory. To the northeast, Sauceda Cr carves through the terrain, while Tortolo Cr marks the western reaches of the quadrangle. Transport through this high-desert environment is limited to specialized paths such as Charco Bracero Creek Rd and the high-elevation Cienega Mountain Rd. This 2022 survey provides an essential view of modern water drainage patterns and land contours in a region where the natural topography dictates every path and potential settlement site.
