About this map

Big Bend National Park occupies the southwestern corner of this Brewster County landscape, where the Santiago Mountains rise from the desert floor. The terrain is defined by complex drainage systems and water management in an arid environment. The prominent Nine Point Draw and Big Brushy Canyon channel seasonal runoff through the highlands, while the course of Maravillas Cr cuts across the central plains. Ranching infrastructure is evident through a series of named water catchments, including Key Cabin Tank, Bear Cr Tank, and Norton Tank, which supported livestock in this remote Trans-Pecos region. Transportation is limited to isolated corridors like Ranch Rd 2627 and Dove Mt Rd, illustrating the vast, sparsely populated nature of the Big Bend country in the early 21st century.
