2019 Map of Big Canyon Ranch NE

About this map

The boundary between Pecos and Terrell Counties cuts through this high desert ranchland, where the topography is defined by the massive drainage of Big Canyon. Water, when it flows, follows the path of McKay Cr through deep draws and across the arid plateau. The human imprint on this landscape is visible primarily through a network of rural roads and ranch access routes, including FM 2886 and Ranch Rd 2400, which connect isolated holdings across the rugged West Texas terrain. Named routes like Word Rd, Corder Rd, and Huckaby Rd reflect the generational presence of ranching families who have managed these lands. The map illustrates how transportation in this region is dictated by the natural contours of the canyons and the intermittent stream beds of the Trans-Pecos.
