About this map

San Antonio Pass serves as a central geographical marker in this portion of Presidio County, where the high desert terrain is punctuated by deep drainages and isolated peaks. Modern ranching operations define the human footprint, with Gearhart Ranch and Kelly Ranch occupying significant portions of the landscape. These properties are reached via a network of local tracks such as Gearhart Ranch Rd and Kelly Ranch Rd, which branch off from the main thoroughfare of Ranch Road 505.

Water sources are vital and scarce in this environment, evidenced by labels for El Muerto Springs and Medley Draw. The topography is defined by dramatic elevation changes, including the heights of Buck Mtn and the steep descents into Bat Cave Canyon and H O Canyon. This map provides a detailed view of the infrastructure and natural landmarks essential for navigating and managing these expansive Texas ranch lands in the early 21st century.
