About this map

Chinati Peak and the surrounding Chinati Mountains dominate this West Texas landscape in Presidio County. The high-desert terrain is carved by deep drainage systems, including Boulder Canyon and Pinto Canyon, which serve as primary topographical features. Water sources are scarce but significant in this arid environment, marked by sites such as Ojo Bonito Spring, Bull Spring, and Ojo Agua Zarca.

Evidence of ranching and land management appears through scattered infrastructure like Mesa Tank, Presa Rincon, and Presa Viruelas. Transport through these remote elevations is limited to primitive routes such as Sable Rd and Rack Trl, which navigate between prominent landforms like Aguja and La Mesa. The map captures a moment in the 21st century where the landscape remains largely defined by its natural hydrology and relief.
