2022 Map of Deer Peak

About this map

Nine Mile Waterhole Spring sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Presidio County, marking a vital water source in an arid expanse defined by complex drainage systems. The terrain is shaped by the winding course of Wild Horse Cr and the broad reaches of Wild Horse Draw, which channel seasonal runoff through the basin. These natural corridors have long dictated the movement of people and livestock across the region, as evidenced by the primitive road network tracing the contours of the land. Old Brite Rd and Ryan Rd connect scattered ranching interests, following the natural path established by the Ryan Draw. This map captures a modern view of a classic West Texas environment where life and transport remain closely tied to the few permanent water points and the ephemeral flow of local draws.
