2013 Map of San Francisco Shutups

About this map

San Francisco Shutups defines the central character of this arid Brewster County landscape, where the ephemeral waters of San Francisco Cr carve through the West Texas terrain. This 2013 survey illustrates a classic ranching geography, dominated by large-scale landholdings connected by a sparse network of 4WD trails and local roads. The map records the specific locations of several family-named landmarks, including Keith Ranch in the northeast, Clark Ranch near the center of the quadrangle, and Martin Ranch further south. The drainage patterns of the creek and its various tributaries provide a detailed look at the hydraulic systems that dictate life and movement in this part of the Trans-Pecos region, where access is dictated by the natural breaks in the topography.
