2012 Map of Duff Springs

About this map

Duff Springs and a network of desert water sources define this arid landscape in Brewster County. The drainage patterns of Duff Cr and Goat Cr are central to the terrain, feeding into lower elevations while high prominent landforms like Mitchell Mesa and Kokernot Mesa overlook the territory. The presence of numerous named water points, including Davenport Spring, Cottonwood Spring, and Whirlwind Springs, indicates the critical importance of reliable water for ranching and survival in this Trans-Pecos region. Localized improvements such as Brush Windmill and a feature simply labeled The Ditch reveal the human efforts to manage and direct the flow of water across the varied topography of Walnut Draw and the vicinity of Potatoe Hill.
