About this map

Agua Adentro Mountain rises as a central landmark in this high-desert portion of Presidio County, where the complex drainage systems of the Bofecillos Mountains dominate the landscape. The terrain is defined by deep cuts such as Auras Canyon, Las Burras Canyon, and Tapado Canyon, illustrating the erosional forces that have shaped this West Texas environment.

Vital water sources for the region's ranching history and wildlife are meticulously recorded, including Agua Adentro Spring, Rancho Viejo Spring, and Oso Spring. These points of permanent or semi-permanent water dictated the location of early land use and are connected by a sparse network of roads like Big Bend State Park Rd and Saucedo Rd. The map also traces the southern approach via FM 170, near the Mexican border, highlighting prominent peaks like Bofecillos Peak and Cerro de las Burras.
