About this map

The high Trans-Pecos desert landscape is defined by the elevation of Little Star Mtn, situated north of several named drainages including Rincon Canyon and Rooney Canyon. In this arid territory, the presence of localized water sources remains a critical geographical marker, evidenced by Indian Springs, Adobe Springs, and ranch-related water catchments such as White Tanks and Cavett Tank.

Surface infrastructure is minimal, centered primarily on the access provided by Limpia Creek Rd and Jeff Ranch Rd in the northern portion of the quadrangle. The map also delineates the high-altitude boundary between Pecos County and Jeff Davis County. The distribution of these named canyons, particularly Horse Thief Canyon and Lochousen Canyon, reveals a rugged drainage pattern that feeds into Limpia Cr and South Carrizo Draw, illustrating the isolated character of these West Texas uplands.
