2019 Map of Sixshooter Canyon

About this map

The Pecos River carves a deep path through the West Texas landscape at the boundary between Terrell and Crockett counties. This high-plateau region is defined by a network of drainage systems, most notably Sixshooter Canyon and Big Canyon, which feed toward the river valley. Water sources are critical markers in this arid environment, with Richland Spring, Wolf Spring, and the winding Independence Cr providing essential hydration for the surrounding ranchlands. Human presence is sparse but strategic, evidenced by the Chandler Ranch Airport situated near the river bluffs and a handful of backcountry routes like Richland Springs Rd. The map illustrates the extreme verticality of the Trans-Pecos, where deep incisions like Sulfur Canyon and Indian Canyon reveal the complex topography of the Stockton Plateau.
