2016 Map of Fresno Creek

About this map

Fresno Creek and Maxon Cr carve through a landscape defined by deep draws and high ridges along the border of Pecos and Brewster Counties. This 2016 survey highlights a remote and sparsely populated area of West Texas where topographical landmarks often bear the names of early ranching families or local wildlife. Significant elevation changes are marked by features like Panther Mtn and Panther Gulch, while the network of canyons including McRae Canyon, Kincaid Canyon, and Mussey Canyon illustrates the complex drainage patterns feeding toward the larger Sanderson Canyon system. The geography here is characterized by these intermittent watercourses and draws like Oak Draw, which have historically dictated travel and land use in this arid region.
