2010 Map of San Francisco Shutups

About this map

San Francisco Creek meanders through this portion of Brewster County, carving a path through the distinct terrain of the San Francisco Shutups. The landscape is defined by its isolation and the presence of established grazing operations, represented by the Clark Ranch, Keith Ranch, and Martin Ranch. These named homesteads provide a point of reference in an otherwise sparsely populated region of West Texas. To the southeast, the topography descends toward Beef Canyon, illustrating the drainage patterns that dominate this arid environment. The map details the network of unpaved roads and tracks that connect these remote ranches, offering a clear record of land use and navigation in the Big Bend region during the early 21st century.
