2022 Map of Diamond Y Spring NW

About this map

Monument Springs and Bonebrake Spring serve as critical hydrological markers in this arid stretch of Pecos County, where water sources have long dictated land use and livestock patterns. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Courtney Cr, which winds through the central portion of the quadrangle. Human presence is etched into the terrain primarily through a network of rural routes and ranch roads, including Gamboa Rd and Trophy Rd, which provide access to this isolated portion of the Trans-Pecos region. In the northeast corner, Farm to Market Road 1450 cuts across the basin, representing the primary modern thoroughfare. This topographical study captures the subtle elevation changes and the sparse but vital water features that continue to support the ranching economy of West Texas.
