About this map

Frenchman Hills dominates this high-desert landscape in Presidio County, where isolated ranching outposts and vital water sources define the human geography. The presence of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor along Alamito Creek provided a critical connection for this remote region. Land use is centered on sprawling operations like Mollard Ranch and Spur Ranch, supported by an extensive network of named water features including Whitney Windmill, Schoolhouse Windmill, and Blue Waterhole Spring. The terrain transitions from the heights of White Peak down into the drainage of Perdiz Creek, with evidence of early resource exploration found at various Oil Wells and Drill Holes. Small-scale aviation is also noted via several Landing Strips, underscoring the vast distances between these West Texas settlements.
