About this map

Big Canyon dominates this arid landscape of the Texas Trans-Pecos, where deep drainage patterns and sharp elevation changes define the topography of southern Terrell. The map focuses on a remote section of the county where water is a critical and scarce resource, evidenced by the presence of McKay Cr carving through the plateau.

Large-scale ranching operations are the primary footprint on this land, connected by a network of private and service roads such as Running W Rd and Running West Rd. These routes, along with Hardgrave Rd and Stavley Rd, serve as the vital arteries for the sprawling pastoral economy that has persisted in this region for generations. Near the southeastern corner, Ranch RD 1217 provides the most significant connection to the wider region, while Pumpville Rd skirts the eastern boundary.
