2022 Map of Big Brindle Canyon

About this map

Big Brindle Canyon and Little Brindle Canyon dominate this Trans-Pecos landscape where the high plateau is deeply incised by a network of drainage systems. The terrain is characterized by complex contouring around Washboard Canyon and Hagler Canyon, showing the erosional patterns typical of the West Texas desert. A significant political boundary is marked by the meeting of three counties—Pecos, Brewster, and Terrell—traversing diagonally across the canyon floors and ridges. Human presence is minimal on this modern survey, represented primarily by Pierce Rd cutting through the northern reaches near Whitely Canyon. The hydrology is defined by ephemeral systems like Maxon Cr, which flows into the larger Brindle Canyon network at the southern edge of the quadrangle.
