2019 Map of Meyers Canyon

About this map

Meyers Springs and the nearby Meyers Spring serve as critical water sources in this arid stretch of the Trans-Pecos. The landscape is defined by a complex network of drainage systems, most notably Meyers Canyon and Big Canyon, which carve through the high limestone plateaus of Terrell County. This 2019 survey documents the sparse infrastructure of the region, where isolated routes like Chriesman Rd, Lemons Rd, and Bendle Rd provide access to remote ranch lands. The presence of Altgelt and the evocatively named Outlaw Canyon suggests a history of frontier movement and rugged livestock operations. Further south, Thurston Canyon contributes to the intricate topography of this Chihuahuan Desert environment, showing how natural landforms dictate the placement of the few roads and property boundaries found in the area.
