2013 Map of McClain Canyon

About this map

McClain Canyon and the surrounding drainage network of Terrell County define this high-desert landscape in the early twenty-first century. The area is characterized by vast ranching tracts, most notably the Gatlin Ranch in the northwest and McClain Ranch to the east. These properties are situated among the deeply incised paths of Sanderson Cr and Seminole Canyon, where seasonal water flow and occasional springs like Indian Wells Spring dictate the utility of the land. Remote access is maintained through gravel and dirt routes such as Lower Gatlin Rd and Morgan Rd, which connect these isolated holdings to the wider West Texas region. The mapping of Garcia Cr and Persimmon Cr further illustrates the complex watershed that eventually funnels toward the Rio Grande basin.
