2010 Map of San Esteban Lake SW

About this map

Perdiz Creek and Shannon Draw define the drainage patterns of this high desert landscape in Presidio County. The terrain is deeply inscribed by ephemeral watercourses like Stage Stand Draw and Dunman Creek, which funnel seasonal runoff toward the south and east. A long-standing transportation corridor is represented by Route 67, cutting a diagonal path through the arid landscape and connecting the region's isolated outposts. Outside of this primary road, the map reveals a sparsely developed territory where natural landmarks and family-named features like Matonoso Creek provide the primary points of orientation. A single Oil Well serves as a small marker of human industry amidst the vast network of draws and creeks including Cienega Creek, illustrating the intersection of natural topography and local resource exploration in the early 21st century.
