2010 Map of Bootleg Canyon

About this map

Big Mesa dominates the central landscape of this Pecos County region, defining a high plateau that drops away into the deep recesses of Bootleg Canyon. The topography reveals a land shaped by drainage patterns where seasonal water once carved through the limestone, leaving behind Livingston Canyon in the southwest. This area remains largely defined by its traditional ranching heritage, with large landholdings such as the Louis Woodward Ranch and Fannie Woodward Ranch spread across the high ground. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the modern transportation corridor of Frontage Rd follows the course of Tunas Creek, where the Baker Ranch is situated. The map illustrates the sparsely populated nature of the Trans-Pecos, where life is organized around the rare water sources and the massive scale of the mesas.
