The high desert landscape of Brewster County is defined by the elevation changes of the Bullis Gap Range and the strategic passage at Beef Gap. This 2013 survey of the Chihuahuan Desert terrain focuses on a remote section of the Trans-Pecos, where life centers on isolated ranching outposts such as Beef Canyon Ranch and Smith Ranch. The reliance on water management in this arid environment is evident through features like Little Grenshaw Tank and Double Tank, which serve the local livestock industry.
