About this map

Frenchman Hills and Hawk Hill dominate this arid Presidio County landscape, where deep arroyos and intermittent drainage systems define the high desert topography. This 2019 survey documents the rugged cattle country of the Big Bend region, centered on the transit corridors of Ranch Rd 169 and Casa Piedra Rd.

The hydrology of the area is characterized by seasonal watercourses such as Alamito Creek, Perdiz Creek, and Matonoso Cr, which carve through the volcanic soils and desert scrub. These named creeks and drainages, including Julio Cr, have historically dictated the placement of ranching infrastructure and remote roadways in this sparsely populated portion of West Texas, providing essential reference points for land management and navigation.
