2016 Map of Leoncita Ranch

About this map

Leoncita Ranch anchors this high-desert landscape where three West Texas counties converge. The terrain is defined by the steep relief of unnamed peaks and the drainage patterns of seasonal waterways like Upper Coyanosa Draw and Musquiz Creek. In an arid environment where water dictates the location of human activity, Leoncita Spring and Benson Tank represent critical resources for ranching operations. The quadrangle captures the remote intersection of Pecos, Jeff Davis, and Brewster counties, with Hovey Rd providing the primary corridor through the northern sections. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent importance of isolated springs and drainage basins in the Trans-Pecos region, where modern property boundaries and ancient watercourses continue to shape the rural economy.
