2010 Map of Frenchman Hills

About this map

Frenchman Hills dominate the topography of this Presidio County landscape, where an intricate network of desert drainages carves through the terrain. The hydrological pattern is defined by the significant reaches of Perdiz Creek and Alamito Creek, which converge and wind through the eastern and central portions of the quadrangle. In the southwestern corner, the headwaters of Matonoso Creek emerge, further illustrating the complex watershed system of this West Texas region. Human infrastructure is sparse, concentrated primarily along the corridor of Ranch Rd 169, which provides the main north-south transit through the area. A single Oil Well marked in the northwest suggests the localized industrial activity that occasionally punctuates this ranching and drainage-dominated landscape during the early 21st century.
