2012 Map of Chinati Peak

About this map

Chinati Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape in Presidio County, standing as the primary landmark within the broader Chinati Mountains. The terrain is defined by a sparse network of ranching outposts and vital water sources, including Chaffin Place to the north and Wood Ranch positioned centrally. Life in this arid environment revolves around named springs and catchments such as Ojo Bonito Spring, Deck Spring, and Presa Rincon, which reflect the localized infrastructure required to sustain habitation and livestock. Deep drainages like Tigner Canyon and Pinto Canyon cut through the high ground, while features like La Mesa and Aguja provide further topographical orientation for those navigating this remote corner of West Texas during the early 21st century.
