About this map

The confluence of high-desert canyons and the Pecos River defines this remote portion of Terrell, Crockett, and Val Verde Counties. The landscape is characterized by deeply incised drainage systems, most notably Geddis Canyon and South Geddis Canyon, which carve through the plateau toward the river. Unlike the arid surrounding heights, specific water sources such as Johnson Seep, Geddis Springs, and Sweetwater Springs suggest critical survival points in an otherwise unforgiving terrain.

Human activity is sparse and dictated by the geography, represented primarily by ranching infrastructure and winding paths like Reginald Rd and Pistol Hill Rd. The meeting of three county lines near the river's edge highlights the political geography of this sparsely populated border region. This 2022 survey provides a clear view of the modern ranching access routes including Divide Rd and Ranch Rd 3166 as they navigate the breaks above the canyon floors.
