2022 Map of Horsehead Canyon

About this map

Independence Cr carves a critical path through this arid portion of Terrell County, serving as the primary drainage for a network of deeply etched landforms. The terrain is defined by a series of significant canyons and draws, including the prominent Bearfoot Canyon in the north and Horsehead Canyon to the south. This remote landscape is accessed by a sparse network of ranch roads, most notably Ranch Rd 1217, which winds through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The naming of features like Oil Well Canyon and Surveyor Canyon suggests a history of resource exploration and land division in this West Texas environment. Local ranching access is further detailed by unpaved routes such as Korn Rd and Davenport Rd, which link the high plateaus between Mitchell Draw and Deer Canyon.
