2012 Map of Meyers Canyon

About this map

Meyers Spring provides a vital water source in this arid stretch of Terrell County, surrounded by a complex system of drainage channels and deep limestone cuts. The landscape is defined by the significant convergence of Meyers Canyon, Big Canyon, and Outlaw Canyon, which carve through the high desert plateau. Human presence is marked by a sparse network of ranch roads, including Bendale Rd and Altgelt Rd, which navigate the plateaus between the steep canyon walls. The geography here illustrates the challenging terrain of the Trans-Pecos, where survival and travel were dictated by the location of springs and the traversability of these ancient water-carved passages.
