2012 Map of Big Canyon Ranch SW

About this map

Mitchell Ranch and Stegall Ranch anchor this West Texas landscape in Pecos County, illustrating the enduring cattle and sheep ranching traditions of the Trans-Pecos region. The sparse network of unpaved and improved roads, including Ranch Road 2400 and Old Downie Rd, highlights the vast distances between remote outposts. Ephemeral watercourses like Fortyone Draw trace the drainage patterns through the desert scrub and limestone plateaus, where survival depends on such intermittent features. This survey provides a modern view of land use in a region where historical family holdings, such as those accessed via Stegall Rd and Dudley Ranch Rd, remain the primary landmarks across the wide-open terrain.
