2022 Map of Quinn Creek

About this map

The Rio Grande defines the western edge of this remote Presidio County landscape, marking the international boundary between the United States and Mexico. The terrain is characterized by deep drainages and high plateaus, notably Quinn Mesa in the east and the expansive Arroyo Enmedio cutting through the center. Water sources are scarce in this arid environment, represented by the seasonal flow of Quinn Cr, Van Horn Cr, and the isolated Siffer Spring. A single significant track, White Tank Rd, provides the primary overland access through the high-elevation contours. This survey illustrates the stark geographic isolation of the Big Bend region, where the relief drops sharply from the interior mesas down toward the river floodplain.
