About this map

Pecos River serves as the dominant geographic feature of this Val Verde County landscape, carving through a series of steep drainages including Big Hackberry Canyon and Little Hackberry Canyon. The local transport network is defined by unpaved corridors such as Pumpville Rd and Fielder Draw Rd, reflecting the ranching and livestock movement patterns of west Texas. The namesake Hackberry Crossing provides a focal point along the river, marking a traditional point of transit in a region otherwise segmented by deep canyons like Tanislado Canyon and House Canyon.

Surface drainage patterns are clearly visible through features like Big Fielder Draw, which channels runoff toward the river system. This topographic survey documents the remote character of the area where Stapp Canyon and Davis Canyon intersect with the Hackberry Rd corridor. The lack of built-up settlements highlights the isolation of this corner of the Edwards Plateau, making it a valuable reference for understanding the physical geography and ranching infrastructure of the contemporary frontier.
