2010 Map of La Boquilla

About this map

Las Pampas Colonia and the surrounding desert ranchlands of Presidio County are defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and isolated outposts. In this high-desert environment, life and transit center on arroyos like Arroyo Chillon and Arroyo Mimbroso, which carve through the landscape toward the prominent Cibolo Creek. The presence of Twin Mills and Arroyos Ranch suggests the persistent footprint of cattle ranching in a region where water sources such as Arroyo Tinaja Escondido are vital landmarks. Transportation and infrastructure are anchored by the Presidio Lely International Airport in the southwest corner, while the settlement of La Boquilla sits near the confluence of several northern drainages, including Morita Creek. This map reveals the intersection of modern aviation and traditional desert land use in the Big Bend region.
