About this map

The high plateau of the Trans-Pecos region is home to the town of Marfa, which serves as the focal point for this survey of the High Desert landscape. At the center of the grid-patterned streets stands the Presidio County Courthouse, a prominent landmark in the local government and historical narrative of the county seat. The town is surrounded by a network of ephemeral watercourses including Mimms Draw, Greenlee Draw, and the southward-flowing Alamito Cr.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the multiple burial grounds situated on the western edge of the settlement, including the Marfa Catholic Cem, Marfa Cem, and the Cementerio De La Merced. Further south, the isolated Holmes Cem provides a point of interest for those researching rural family history. Transportation is defined by a pair of regional airfields, the Marfa Municipal Airport and the smaller MacGuire Ranch Airport, along with the reaching stretch of Ranch Rd 2810 heading into the western horizon.
