2016 Map of Frenchman Hills

About this map

Frenchman Hills dominates the southwestern corner of this Presidio County landscape, where desert drainage systems carve deep into the Texas high country. The map traces the winding paths of Alamito Creek and its many tributaries, including Perdiz Creek and Julio Cr, which define the local topography. This survey highlights the sparse but critical transportation network of the Big Bend region, anchored by Ranch Rd 169 as it traverses the eastern plains near Hawk Hill. The intersection with Casa Pierda Rd illustrates the remote connectivity of this ranching territory. These drainage patterns, including Matonoso Cr, reveal the intricate erosion of the Chihuahuan Desert plateau, offering a detailed look at the land's character before modern development or shifting climate patterns further alter these ephemeral watercourses.
