About this map

The Bofecillos Mountains dominate this rugged Trans-Pecos landscape, centered on the high point of Bofecillos Peak. This 2022 survey captures a high-desert environment defined by deep drainage systems like Bofecillos Canyon and Las Burras Canyon, where life historically clustered around vital water sources. Named seeps and flows such as Agua Adentro Spring, Rancho Viejo Spring, and Rancherias Spring provide the primary markers of human and animal movement across the arid terrain.

Evidence of early access and modern conservation appears through a network of primitive tracks and trails, including the Ojito Adentro Trl and the Rancherias Loop Trl. In the northeast, Big Bend State Park Rd and Saucedo Rd offer access to the interior of the high plateau, while FM 170 skims the southwestern edge. The map traces the land's transition from prominent volcanic peaks like Agua Adentro Mtn to the deeply incised Rancherias Canyon.
