2019 Map of Cook Creek South

About this map

The Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River forms the southern boundary of this West Texas landscape, marking the international border between the United States of America and Mexico. The terrain north of the Rio Grande is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, where Cook Creek and Cow Creek carve through the high ground. This 2019 survey shows a largely undeveloped region within Terrell County, characterized by steep elevation changes and prominent natural landmarks like Mesquite Canyon and Bear Canyon. Human infrastructure is sparse, limited primarily to Cedar Rd as it traverses the northern elevations. This map serves as a contemporary record of the protected river corridor and the complex topography of the Trans-Pecos, providing detail for researchers tracking land use and natural watercourses like Indian Creek in this remote borderland.
