2022 Map of Beef Gap

About this map

The Bullis Gap Range dominates this portion of Brewster County, where high ridges and deep drainages characterize the Chihuahuan Desert landscape. The terrain is marked by the prominent passage of Beef Gap, a natural break in the mountain profile that has historically influenced movement through this arid region. To the north, Beef Canyon carves through the uplift, while scattered water catchments like Little Crenshaw Tank and Double Tank indicate the vital infrastructure required for ranching and wildlife in such a dry environment. The topography revealed by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a complex network of contours, highlighting the isolated nature of these summits and the practical importance of named water sources and mountain gaps in the Trans-Pecos.
