About this map

San Francisco Creek meanders through the southern reaches of this Brewster County landscape, following a winding path through the complex drainage systems of West Texas. The terrain is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and prominent landforms, including the deeply etched Kellogg Canyon and Beef Canyon. These features demonstrate the erosive power of water in an arid environment, where drainage basins like those of Horse Creek and Cow Creek have carved distinct paths through the desert floor. The map captures a transition in topography as the relatively open northern sections near Maxon Cr and Brindle Canyon give way to the more fractured and intricate contours of the southern canyons. This 2019 survey provides an exacting look at the hydrological patterns that have historically dictated movement and land use in this isolated part of the state.
