About this map

The high desert terrain of Presidio County defines this 2022 survey, dominated by the massive eastern slopes of the Chinati Mountains. The small community of Shafter sits as a lonely outpost along Route 67, centered near the winding course of Cibolo Cr. Local history is anchored by the presence of Concordia Cem and the Brooks - Fuentes Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the region's ranching and mining heritage.

Water dictates the geography of this arid landscape, with deeply cut drainages like Arroyo Tinaja Escondida and Morita Cr branching out from the central valley. In the southern portion of the sheet, the distinct peak of Cerro Tren rises above the surrounding flats. Local transport is limited to narrow corridors like Upper Shafter Rd and Brazo Rd, which provide access to the remote backcountry east of the main highway.
