About this map

The Chihuahuan Desert landscape of the Trans-Pecos region is documented here in a 1983 edition that highlights the remote character of Presidio County. Cibolo Ranch stands as a focal point of human activity in an area otherwise defined by extreme elevation changes and drainage patterns leading toward the Rio Grande valley. The network of unimproved roads and trails shown suggests the enduring ranching economy and the rugged logistics of land management in West Texas during the late twentieth century. Unlike more developed regions, the cartography focuses on subtle natural landmarks and the few established outposts necessary for navigation across this high-altitude basin.
