2012 Map of Persimmon Gap

About this map

Persimmon Gap serves as a primary passage through the arid terrain of Brewster County, documented here as it appeared in the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by its water management and ranching infrastructure, featuring isolated outposts like Double Mills and Green Windmill that dot the high desert. To the north, Maravillas Cr and Javelina Draw carve through the basin, highlighting the drainage patterns essential to local survival. Transportation is anchored by the corridor of Ranch Road 2627 and the specialized Persimmon Gap Ranch Airport, reflecting the logistical challenges of this vast region. This survey illustrates the sparse but critical network of human activity, from the Carney Tank water source to the primitive routes of Chalk Draw Ranch Rd.
