2020 Map of Santa Rosa Lake

About this map

The Pecos River carves a winding path through this corner of Guadalupe County, defining a landscape shaped by water and high-desert ranching. At the center of the sheet, the river gathers at Horseshoe Bend, where the terrain transitions into the broad waters of the reservoir. The small settlement of Cahoncitos is situated in the southwest near Carmen Rd, providing a rare point of human habitation in a region primarily dedicated to livestock management. Scattered water sources like Rock Hole Spring, Round Top Tank, and Bar Y Tank are critical markers for local land use, connected by a network of ranch roads such as Singlecow Rd and Joe 7 Louie Page Rd. To the northeast, the dramatic landform of Box Canyon stands out, while Esteros Creek feeds into the main river system from the north.
