About this map

Amistad National Recreation Area defines the southwestern corner of this West Texas landscape, where the arid canyonlands meet the upper reaches of the reservoir system. The terrain is dominated by a network of drainage systems, including Sycamore Creek and the multiple branches of San Pedro Cr, which carve through the plateau. Small impoundments like Moody Lake provide rare focal points for water management in this sparsely populated region.

Private landholdings and ranching history are evident through a network of named tracks such as Gillis Ranch Rd and Lewis Ranch Rd. These routes, alongside Gurley Mcbee Rd, establish the modern accessibility of the hinterlands surrounding Rough Canyon. The map illustrates the transition from the recreational shoreline of the Amistad area to the remote, high-desert ranch country characteristic of Val Verde County.
