About this map

The Barrilla Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Far West Texas, where the boundaries of Reeves, Pecos, and Jeff Davis counties converge. This 2016 survey documents a network of vital water sources in an arid environment, from named seeps like Mexican Spring and Beard Spring to numerous stock tanks including Paisano Tank and Borregus Tank. These water features, alongside various draws like Carrizo Draw and Cox Draw, are the primary markers of human and livestock utility in the region.

Transportation is limited to ranch corridors such as Limpia Creek Rd and Jeff Ranch Rd, which follow the natural contours of the terrain near Lochousen Canyon. The map reveals the intricate topographic detail of landforms like Negro Head, Beard Mtn, and the distinct ridgeline of Mouflon Reef, illustrating how water management and local ranching roads have adapted to the complex geology of the Trans-Pecos mountains.
