2016 Map of Peloncillo Peak

About this map

Peloncillo Peak stands as the primary landmark in this ranching landscape of the Southwest Texas scrubland. Spanning the Kinney Co and Maverick Co line, the terrain is defined by an extensive network of ephemeral drainage systems and water catchment features. Natural waterways like Elm Cr, Lindsey Cr, and Stricklin Cr are supplemented by numerous named stock tanks, including Hard Luck Tank, Birdnest Tank, and Pretty Tank, illustrating the critical importance of water management for cattle operations in this arid environment. Transportation through this remote borderlands region is facilitated by Farm Rd 481 and Anacacho Rd, while the Dunbar Ranch Airport and nearby Dunbar Lake mark a rare concentration of infrastructure amidst the rugged drainages of Beef Canyon.
