2016 Map of Cook Creek South

About this map

The Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River forms a jagged international boundary through this portion of Terrell County, carving a deep path between Texas and the United States of America and Mexico. The landscape is dominated by a complex network of dry washes and drainage systems that feed into the river, including the winding Cook Creek and Indian Cr. High elevation points are dissected by dramatic terrain features like Mesquite Canyon and Bear Canyon, which highlight the stark relief of the Chihuahuan Desert. While largely devoid of major settlements, the map illustrates the remote infrastructure of the Texas borderlands, where established trails and tracks like Cedar Rd navigate the high plateaus above Lozier Creek. This survey captures the topographical isolation of the southern Terrell County corridor.
