1979 Map of Bakers Crossing

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Devils River dominates this West Texas landscape, winding through a complex system of deep drainages in Val Verde County. This 1970s survey captures the area around Bakers Crossing, a significant point of passage that includes a Ford and a nearby Campground. The terrain is defined by its dramatic relief, with named features like White Gap and Harland Canyon illustrating the erosional patterns of the Edwards Plateau. A spiderweb of primitive roads and a Jeep Trail provide the only access through the backcountry, linking isolated spots such as Faro and Cedar Canyon. The map reveals a land utilized for ranching and recreation, where movement is dictated by the limestone topography and the reliable waters of the river. Geologists and local historians can trace the specific names of the many side canyons, including Hudson Canyon, Miller Canyon, and Burnt Canyon, each carving into the upland plains.
