About this map

The Pecos River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Crockett and Terrell counties, serving as the primary geographical anchor for this West Texas landscape. Steep drainage systems like Sixshooter Canyon, Big Canyon, and Sulfur Canyon feed toward the river valley, illustrating a complex network of dry washes and seasonal hydrology. Aviation and ranching interests intersect at the Chandler Ranch Airport, located near the confluence of Independence Cr and the main river channel.

Water sources remain critical landmarks in this arid region, with Richland Spring and Wolf Spring appearing at the base of Richland Canyon. Infrastructure is minimal, represented primarily by Richland Springs Rd and Co Rd 410, which provide access to remote ranching tracts along the county line. This survey captures a moment of modern topography in a place where the fundamental landforms and water points have dictated land use for generations.
