2012 Map of Dog Canyon

About this map

Old Stage Stand stands as a remnant of frontier transit in this arid landscape of Brewster County. The terrain is defined by the namesake Dog Canyon and the prominent rising of Black Hill in the southeast. While modern roadways now traverse the desert, the map documents historical points of habitation and resource management, including Hale Cabin and water catchments like Dewees Tank. The intermittent drainage of Terlingua Cr carves through the western portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the vital role of seasonal waterways in this part of Texas. This 2012 survey provides a clear look at how human footprints like old stage stops persist alongside natural features in a sparsely populated environment.
