2019 Map of Quinn Creek

About this map

The Rio Grande serves as the international boundary between the United States and Mexico in this high-desert region of Presidio County. This terrain is defined by complex drainage networks that cut through the arid landscape toward the river, including Van Horn Cr, Quinn Cr, and the Arroyo Enmedio. A prominent geographic landmark, Quinn Mesa, rises in the eastern portion of the map, overlooking the surrounding canyons. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by White Tank Rd and the vital water source at Siffer Spring. The map captures a section of the border where seasonal watercourses like Arroyo San Carlos dictate the movement and geography of the land, illustrating the isolation and natural infrastructure of the Big Bend region in the early twenty-first century.
