2010 Map of Everett Canyon

About this map

The Pecos River cuts through this arid landscape in Val Verde County, defining a topography dominated by steep drainages and isolated ranching outposts. Settled life centers on family-named holdings such as Mayfield Ranch, Everett Ranch, and Ward Ranch, which dot the uplands between complex canyon systems. The map illustrates the region's reliance on private airstrips and remote road networks, featuring the Rancho Grande Airport and Blue Hills Rd. Extensive natural features like Live Oak Canyon, Oppenheimer Canyon, and Zixto Canyon carve through the limestone terrain, illustrating the dramatic erosional patterns typical of the Trans-Pecos borderlands. From the small settlement of Boyd in the south to the northern ranchlands, this map reveals the infrastructure required to manage these large-scale livestock operations in the early 21st century.
