About this map

The high desert landscape of the Trans-Pecos region is defined here by a series of significant drainage systems, notably Burro Draw and Owls Nest Canyon. The terrain is characterized by intricate contour patterns that illustrate the dramatic elevation changes common in this part of West Texas. A prominent political boundary cuts through the northern portion of the map, marking the line between Jeff Davis Co and Presidio Co.

Surface water management and natural drainage ways are central to the geography, with Juniper Draw, Duncan Draw, and Big Trestle Draw providing a detailed view of how the land sheds water toward the south. Evidence of ranching and remote access is visible in the northeast corner via Hughes Ranch Rd and Smith-Coffey Rd, which connect the isolated canyons to the broader regional network of Presidio County.
