2022 Map of Butterbowl

About this map

Big Bend National Park encompasses the eastern portion of this high-desert landscape in Brewster County, where the topography is defined by the convergence of several significant mountain groups and drainage systems. The Santiago Mountains dominate the northeastern sector, separated from the Black Hills by the notable Javelina Gap. To the south, the Chalk Mountains rise near the headwaters of Cedar Creek, while the central basin features the distinct landform known as Butterbowl. This modern survey illustrates the sparse but critical infrastructure of the Trans-Pecos region, centered on the Chalk Draw Ranch Rd and Cedar Springs Rd networks. These routes follow natural corridors between the peaks, tracing the same paths that have connected remote ranching outposts and springs like Cedar Spring for generations.
