2019 Map of Smith Hills

About this map

Marfa Municipal Airport sits on the southern edge of this high-desert landscape in Presidio County, marking a point of modern infrastructure amidst a network of natural drainage basins. The terrain is defined by the convergence of prominent topographical features including Duncan Draw and Fourmile Draw, which guide the seasonal flow of water through the region. The drainage system is further articulated by the N Fork Alamito Cr and S Fork Alamito Cr, illustrating the hydrological patterns of the Trans-Pecos. The boundary between Jeff Davis and Presidio counties cuts across the northern section of the map, while local transportation is limited to established ranching routes like Hughes Ranch Rd and Smith-Coffey Rd, reflecting the sparse settlement and large-scale land use characteristic of this part of West Texas.
