2012 Map of McKinney Springs

About this map

McKinney Springs and the surrounding desert landscape of Brewster County are defined by a network of critical water sources and rugged transit routes. This 2012 survey reveals a terrain where survival relied on isolated points like Muskhog Spring and McKinney Spring. The infrastructure is dominated by historic thoroughfares such as Old Ore Rd and Dagger Flat Rd, which navigate the elevation changes between Black Peaks and the McKinney Hills. Drainage patterns are clearly marked by the intermittent flows of Tornillo Cr, Hannold Draw, and Big Yellow Arroyo, illustrating the complex hydrology of this arid region. The map also identifies prominent landmarks like Stuarts Peak and the settlement of Javalina, providing a detailed look at the geographic character of this West Texas environment.
