2012 Map of Chispa

About this map

The high desert corridor of western Jeff Davis County is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Wild Horse Cr and the quiet presence of Chispa. This landscape reflects the ranching heritage of the Trans-Pecos, centered around established holdings like the C Means Ranch and White Ranch. The transport network follows the grain of the land, with Ranch Road 2017 and Means Ranch Rd providing essential access to these remote outposts. Further south, the terrain becomes more distinct at Ninetysix Gap and the rise of Little Flattop. Water management is vital in this arid environment, evidenced by infrastructure such as the Ninetysix Windmill and the winding course of Tally Slough.
