2012 Map of Bone Spring

About this map

The Rosillos Mountains dominate the southwestern portion of this Brewster County landscape, rising to the prominent Rosillo Peak. This arid terrain is defined by its complex drainage network, where ephemeral watercourses like Chalk Draw and Santiago Draw carve through the basin. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by the long stretch of Marathon Rd and the vital locations of desert water sources. Small but critical hydrologic features like Bone Spring and San Juan Spring are mapped alongside Bone Spring Draw, highlighting the sparse distribution of water that dictated movement and settlement patterns in this remote region of West Texas during the early 21st century.
