2019 Map of San Esteban Lake

About this map

San Esteban Lake lies at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Presidio County, where a network of ephemeral watercourses and deep arroyos define the terrain. The hydrological system is anchored by Alamito Cr, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Saucito Cr, Julio Cr, and Indian Cr. To the north, the Rancheria Hills rise above the surrounding basins, providing a topographical contrast to the broad alluvial features like Antelope Draw and Long Draw. Transportation through this arid region follows historic corridors, primarily along Route 67 and Ranch Rd 169. Local ranching access is documented through named routes such as Mitchell Rd and Spriggs Ranch Rd, reflecting the long-standing land use patterns of West Texas. This map provides a detailed look at the drainage patterns and relief of the Trans-Pecos region in the early 21st century.
