About this map

Henderson Mesa dominates the topography of this Jeff Davis County landscape, where the high ground is cut by a series of dramatic drainages including Horse Thief Canyon and Black Canyon. This 2010 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a high-desert terrain shaped by water management and ranching infrastructure, evidenced by features like Antelope Tank tucked near Polks Peak.

The presence of Kokernot Creek Rd provides a primary point of access, paralleling Kokernot Creek through the western portion of the quadrangle. Other notable watercourses such as Dutchman Creek and Musquiz Creek converge in the southern reaches, with the latter winding past Dutchman Cove. This map is particularly valuable for its contemporary documentation of remote roads and named natural features that define the territorial character of this portion of the Texas Big Bend region.
