2016 Map of Chinati Peak

About this map

Chinati Peak and the high ridges of the Chinati Mountains dominate this high-desert region of Presidio County. The landscape is defined by its water sources, both natural and improved, which have supported ranching in this arid environment for generations. Key springs such as Ojo Bonito Spring and Bull Spring are marked alongside man-made water catchments like Mesa Tank and Presa Rincon. Navigation through the complex terrain relies on primitive routes like Sable Rd and the Pack Trl. Deep topographic features such as Boulder Canyon, Doll Canyon, and Pinto Canyon reveal the geological character of the Trans-Pecos. The presence of named drainages like Oso Cr and locations such as La Mesa highlight the Spanish cultural influence on the local nomenclature and land use patterns.
