2016 Map of Buck Hill
USGS Topo · Published 2016About this map
The Chihuahuan Desert landscape of Brewster County is defined here by ephemeral watercourses and isolated peaks. Buck Hill and Butcherknife Hill dominate the western portion of the terrain, rising above the surrounding flats where drainage is managed by features like Butcherknife Draw. The presence of Stone Tank and Broken Tank suggests the critical importance of water management for livestock in this arid ranching country. Human movement through this section of the Trans-Pecos relies on a sparse network of roads, including Commanche Prairie Rd and Nine Point Mesa Ranch Rd, which navigate the contours between the high ground and the wide Calamity Creek Wash that cuts through the northern reaches.
