2022 Map of Cook Creek South

About this map

The Rio Grande carves a winding path along the southern edge of this West Texas landscape, serving as the international boundary between the United States and Mexico. This stretch of the river is designated as the Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River, reflecting its protected status and undeveloped character. The terrain is defined by a series of deep drainages including Bear Canyon and Mesquite Canyon that channel seasonal runoff toward the river. Narrow watercourses such as Cook Creek, Cow Creek, and Indian Creek dissect the plateau, creating a complex network of ridges and draws. Evidence of human presence is sparse in this isolated part of Terrell County, represented primarily by the unpaved Cedar Rd winding through the northern upland areas.
