2016 Map of Paisano

About this map

Paisano Pass serves as a critical geographic waypoint on this high-desert landscape where Brewster and Presidio counties meet. The area is defined by significant elevations, notably Crenshaw Mtn and the prominent Paisano Peak, which overlook the corridor shared by US Highway 67/90 and the local drainage systems. Water management is central to the settlement pattern here, evidenced by named catchments like Crenshaw Tank, Sunny Glen Tank, and Good Tank. The small community of Sunny Glen sits nestled among these peaks, while the seasonal flow of Paisano Cr and various draws, such as Colquitt Draw and Good Tank Draw, carve through the terrain. The map captures a high-altitude crossroads where ranching infrastructure and transportation routes negotiate the natural gaps between the region's volcanic summits.
