2013 Map of Agua Fria Mountain

About this map

Aqua Fria Mtn and Paint Mtn anchor this arid Trans-Pecos landscape in Brewster County, where intermittent drainage patterns define the local geography. The desert floor is marked by extensive seasonal waterways including Alamo de Cesario Cr and Agua Fria Draw, which lead toward Terlingua Cr at the southern edge. Human presence in this isolated terrain is sparse, evidenced primarily by the Agua Fria Rd and the Taurus Mesa Airport located on the northern plateau. A critical water source in this dry environment, Aqua Fria Spring, sits at the base of the mountains. The map also captures curiously named landmarks like Fizzle Flat, reflecting the unique character of this Big Bend region desert.
