About this map

Baffin Bay dominates the northern reaches of this coastal landscape, where the shifting shoreline meets the distinct Black Bluff. The terrain is defined by a dynamic system of sand dunes, often reaching elevations over fifty feet, such as the Shifting Sand Dunes located toward the western interior. This arid environment is punctuated by a network of critical water sources, evidenced by numerous named wells that served the local ranching economy. Many of these, including the Pasadizo Artesian Well and Mota Negra Artesian Well, appear alongside extensive fence lines, indicating a highly managed pastoral landscape despite the moving sands. The presence of these named wells, like Tio Chon Well and Gansos Artesian Well, suggests a reliance on groundwater in a region where the surface is otherwise characterized by sand and mud and transient coastal features like Pie de Gallo.
