About this map

Amistad National Recreation Area dominates this landscape where the high desert of Val Verde County meets the sprawling waters of the Amistad Reservoir. The terrain is defined by deep, sinuous drainages like Rough Canyon and Windmill Canyon, which feed into the primary water bodies of Walk Lake and the N Fork San Pedro Cr. The dramatic topography is punctuated by features such as the Rough Canyon Cliffs and Twin Canyons, illustrating the stark transition between the arid uplands and the submerged river valleys.

Residential development and recreational access are concentrated along the northern reaches, served by a network of local roads including Rio Diablo Pkwy and St Recreational Rd 2. Streets named for native flora and indigenous cultures, such as Mesquite Dr and Comanche Trl, lead toward prominent overlooks like Long Point. This map provides a clear record of the modern shoreline and the transportation infrastructure supporting the recreational communities of this borderlands region.
