2016 Map of Cap Rock Butte

About this map

Cap Rock Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this corner of the Trans-Pecos, situated north of the Pecos Co Brewster Co line. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, where the high level ground of W B Flats gives way to the deep incisions of Big Canyon. The drainage patterns of Red Mill Draw and Downie Draw illustrate the hydrological network of this arid landscape, showing how seasonal runoff has carved the limestone plateau over time. This 2016 survey documents the enduring physical geography and the minimal road infrastructure, such as Longfellow Rd, that provides access across these remote ranching lands.
