About this map

The Pecos River carves through this West Texas landscape, defining a terrain shaped by steep drainages and isolated ranching outposts. This 2012 survey shows the traditional land use patterns of Val Verde County, where vast tracts are anchored by established properties like Everett Ranch, Ward Ranch, and Marshall Ranch. The geography is dominated by a complex network of canyons that feed toward the river, including the expansive Everett Canyon and Cedar Canyon.

Insights into early industrial exploration are preserved in the naming of Oil Well Canyon, while the local flora is noted in Live Oak Canyon and Little Live Oak Canyon. The map illustrates the sparse infrastructure of the region, where unpaved roads and tracks provide the primary access to these remote family holdings. For the researcher, this sheet provides a high-resolution view of the land as it remained into the early 21st century, largely unchanged from its historical ranching roots.
