About this map

Amistad National Recreation Area dominates the northern landscape of this borderland region, where the waters of Walk Lake and San Pedro Cr meet the arid terrain of Val Verde County. The city of Del Rio expands toward the northwest, anchored by the Del Rio International Airport and the residential developments of Cienegas Terrace and Lake View. This era shows a community defined by its proximity to the water, with numerous roads like Texas Spur 454 and Las Brisas Blvd carving into the limestone plateaus.

Natural hydrology remains a vital component of the local geography, featuring the spring-fed waters of Cantu Spring and the drainage of Cienegas Cr and Salt Cr. To the west, the peninsula of Black Brush Point extends into the recreation area, while Long Point marks the northern reaches. The survey detail illustrates the intersection of international travel hubs and recreational waterways that characterize this unique Texas-Mexico frontier environment.
