2016 Map of Meyers Canyon

About this map

Meyers Springs and its nearby namesake Meyers Spring serve as critical water points in this arid stretch of Terrell County. The landscape is defined by a system of deep drainages, including the prominent Big Canyon and Meyers Canyon, which carve through the high desert. Local ranching and transport routes are represented by roads such as Altgelt, Lemons Rd, and Bendle Rd. To the southeast, Outlaw Canyon cuts toward the margin, while Thurston Canyon occupies the southwestern corner. The network of canyons and named springs suggests a reliance on specific topographic features for water and travel in a territory where such resources are sparse and geographically concentrated.
