2022 Map of Chinati Peak

About this map

Chinati Peak dominates this high-altitude section of the Chinati Mountains in Presidio County, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns and water sources critical to this arid region. The map reveals a network of canyons and arroyos, including Boulder Canyon, Doll Canyon, and the deep Pinto Canyon, which serve as the primary conduits for runoff toward Oso Cr. Isolated water sources such as Ojo Bonito Spring, Bull Spring, and Deck Spring are identified alongside cattle tanks and small reservoirs like Presa Viruelas and Mesa Tank. These scattered features, connected by routes like Sable Rd and the Pack Trl, suggest a landscape shaped by intermittent water availability and ranching operations. The presence of Ojo Agua Zarca and Presa Rincon further highlights the human efforts to capture and manage the region's sparse natural springs.
