2010 Map of Still Canyon

About this map

The Pecos River carves a winding path through this corner of Val Verde County, defining a landscape dominated by dramatic relief and deep drainages. In this arid reach, the land is characterized by named canyons that feed into the river valley, including Still Canyon, Wildcat Canyon, and the sprawling Cold Water Canyon. Ranching interests are represented by the presence of Ingram Ranch and Hinds Ranch, which stand as focal points of activity in a region where surface water is scarce. Sparse transportation infrastructure like Blue Hills Rd provides limited access through the upland areas above the river. The concentration of features along the river, from Ford Canyon in the north to Lewis Canyon in the south, illustrates the vital role of the waterway in shaping the geography and utility of this remote Texas territory.
