1983 Map of Bullis Gap NE

About this map

San Francisco Creek Ranch serves as the primary human landmark in this remote corner of Brewster County, situated near the winding course of San Francisco Creek. The landscape is defined by a complex network of dry washes and deep incisions, including Maxon Creek and Cow Creek, which drain a series of named landforms such as Brindle Canyon and Beef Canyon. The sparse infrastructure of the early 1980s is limited to a remote Landing Strip and a Jeep Trail, indicating the isolation and the specialized transportation required to navigate this portion of the Trans-Pecos. This map captures the intersection of traditional ranching life and the topographical reality of West Texas, where water features like Horse Canyon and Kellogg Canyon dictate the movement of both people and livestock across the desert floor.
