1983 Map of San Francisco Shutups

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Slaughter Ranch stands as a primary focal point in this remote corner of Brewster County, where the desert landscape is defined by the unique geological passage of the San Francisco Shutups. This narrow canyon formation marks a dramatic constriction along the San Francisco Creek, an area where the watercourse cuts through resistant rock layers. The map reveals the infrastructure of isolated ranching life in the late twentieth century, including a Jeep Trail that navigates the difficult terrain and designated Landing Strips that provide essential aerial access to this high-desert region. To the south, the deep incision of Beef Canyon further illustrates the complex drainage systems that characterize this part of the Trans-Pecos, showing how water has shaped the rugged Texas geography over time.
