2023 Map of Carrizo

About this map

Carrizo occupies the northern edge of this high-elevation landscape, where a sophisticated network of water infrastructure supports life in a region defined by complex canyon systems and dramatic ridges. The terrain is marked by significant vertical relief, from the depths of Cibecue Canyon to the heights of Cibecue Peak and Ragged Top Mtn. To the east, Carrizo Creek winds through the topography, flanked by landmarks like Horse Bone Flat and Red Canyon. This survey illustrates a modern reliance on specialized water catchments, as evidenced by the numerous named tanks such as Wild Steer Tank, Mud Cat Tank, and Javelina Tank distributed across the plateaus. Transportation is limited to a few arterial routes like Bia RD 12 and Co RD 818, emphasizing the area's transition between isolated ridges like Peach Tree Ridge and prominent formations such as Wild Dove Butte.
