2022 Map of Meyers Canyon

About this map

Meyers Springs serves as a focal point in this arid stretch of Terrell County, where deep drainages carve through the limestone plateau. The landscape is defined by its dramatic verticality, dominated by the winding course of Meyers Canyon and its many offshoots, including the notably named Outlaw Canyon and Big Canyon. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by ranch roads and named tracks like Bendle Rd and Chriesman Rd that follow the natural contours of the high ground between the draws. In a region where water determines the possibility of settlement, the presence of Meyers Spring suggests an vital point for both historic travelers and local livestock. The map illustrates the persistence of early land-use patterns, where infrastructure like Altgelt and Lemons Rd provide the only access through the vast network of canyons such as Thurston Canyon.
