2016 Map of Mayfield Canyon

About this map

Cold Water Canyon and the surrounding drainage systems dominate this section of Val Verde County, characterized by a complex network of dry creek beds and steep-walled canyons. The area remains largely undeveloped, defined by its traditional ranching landscape where infrastructure is limited to primitive trails and the paved Ranch Rd 1024 which cuts across the northeastern corner. In the southern half of the sheet, Mayfield Canyon and Gobble Canyon converge, illustrating the hydrological patterns that have shaped this arid terrain over generations. This topographic study captures the isolation of the West Texas backcountry, where named geographic features serve as the primary landmarks for navigation and land management in a territory with few permanent settlements.
