2016 Map of Lechuguilla Creek

About this map

Lechuguilla Creek and the deep drainage of the Devils River dominate this West Texas landscape in Val Verde County. The terrain is defined by a series of dramatic cuts including Rough Canyon and Dark Canyon, illustrating the erosive power of intermittent waterways in this arid environment. While the area is sparsely populated, the Dickerson Ranch stands as a primary landmark for researchers tracing land use and ranching history in the region during the early twenty-first century. Numerous seasonal tributaries, such as Indian Cr and Dead Mans Cr, feed into the river system, while Cedar Spring Canyon provides a specific point of interest for those studying local hydrology and natural landmarks.
