2012 Map of Horsehead Canyon

About this map

Independence Cr carves a winding path through this corner of Terrell County, serving as the primary drainage for a landscape defined by deep canyons and high plateaus. In the early 21st century, the area remains sparsely populated and largely dedicated to ranching, with a network of rural roads such as Thorn Rd and Nogales Rd providing access to isolated tracts. The names of the terrain, such as Bearfoot Canyon and Javelina Canyon, hint at the local wildlife and the experiences of early surveyors and stockmen.
