2016 Map of San Antonio Pass

About this map

San Antonio Pass serves as a critical geographic marker in this high-desert corridor where the boundary between Jeff Davis and Presidio counties is defined. The landscape is characterized by a network of drainage systems and isolated peaks, including Buck Mtn and the distinctively named Bat Cave Canyon. Water, a vital resource in this arid environment, is noted at El Muerto Springs near the center of the quadrangle. Transportation is limited to a few established routes such as Ranch Rd 505 and private access ways like Gearhart Ranch Rd. The layout of these roads and the naming of features like H O Canyon and Medley Draw reflect the long-standing ranching heritage and topographic navigation essential to this part of the Trans-Pecos region.
