1979 Map of Lozier Canyon North

About this map

Deep drainage networks define this part of the West Texas borderlands, where Lozier Canyon snakes through the desert floor of Terrell County and Val Verde County. The landscape is dominated by dry watercourses including Coyote Canyon, Sevenmile Canyon, and Meyers Canyon, highlighting the complex topography that early infrastructure had to navigate. The Southern Pacific railroad cuts an east-west path across the northern reaches, passing near the settlement of Malvado. Evidence of earlier transport routes is preserved in the label for Old Railroad Grade Canyon, indicating where the rails once shifted to find easier passage through the breaks. Genealogy and local history are anchored by the Lozier Cem, while industrial markers like a Gravel Pit and a Drill Hole point to the extraction and exploration history common to the Trans-Pecos region.
