2016 Map of Cieneguita

About this map

Cibolo Creek carves a winding path through this portion of Presidio County, defining the drainage patterns of an arid landscape where water and elevation dictate the location of human activity. The settlement of Cieneguita is positioned west of the creek, served by the unpaved corridor of Sable Rd. This area reflects the modern ranching and aviation infrastructure of the Big Bend region, anchored by the Cibolo Creek Ranch Airport in the southeastern section. The terrain is marked by significant topographic relief, with drainage channels like those near Charco Bracero Creek Rd illustrating the complex erosion patterns typical of West Texas. The isolation of these features highlights the vast distances between established outposts in the high desert, where access is limited to a few primary ranch roads and private airstrips.
