2012 Map of Bass Canyon

About this map

Bass Canyon and the surrounding high desert of West Texas are characterized by the sparse, strategic placement of ranching outposts and remote crossings. In this arid landscape, Scotts Crossing serves as a critical junction where local routes converge near the drainage of the Green River. The infrastructure is defined by long, straight stretches of Green River Rd, reflecting the vast distances between pockets of habitation such as Pinon Ranch. To the northeast, the settlement of Collado sits along the rail line, illustrating the region's reliance on transportation corridors to connect isolated homesteads to the wider world. The drainage patterns of the Green River dominate the southern portion of the sheet, carving through the terrain in an area where water is the primary architect of the geography.
