2011 Map of Penasco Amarillo

About this map

Rio Brazos defines the northern reaches of this landscape, carving through dramatic features like the Brazos Cliffs and Brazos Box. The water management systems here, including the El Porvenir Community Ditch and Ensenada Ditch, reflect the vital importance of irrigation to the high-country settlements. Small residential and recreational clusters like Milston Acres, Brazos Lodge, and Corkins Lodge sit near the river valley, while the southern terrain transitions toward the high landmark of Peñasco Amarillo. Transportation in the area relies on rural routes such as County Rd 328 and County Rd 485. In the western portion of the map, the Dandee Mine stands as a point of interest for those researching local mineral extraction history, situated not far from the Esenada Airport.
