About this map

Cactus Flat and the surrounding high desert terrain of the Big Bend region are defined by a complex network of plateaus and steep drainage features. The landscape is dominated by significant elevations such as Whirlwind Mesa and Mitchell Mesa, which are carved by seasonal watercourses like Walnut and the evocatively named Bootlegger Canyon. Human presence is sparse but concentrated at established cattle operations, specifically the Crosson Ranch and Escondido Ranch.
