2013 Map of Still Canyon

About this map

The Pecos River cuts a deep, winding course through this section of Val Verde County, defining a landscape dominated by a network of drainage systems. This 2013 survey illustrates the remote character of the West Texas ranching country, where land use is marked by scattered headquarters like the I Ingram Ranch and Hinds Ranch. The terrain is characterized by numerous named side canyons that feed into the primary river corridor, including Still Canyon, Camp Canyon, and Zixto Canyon. The proximity of these features suggests a history of difficult transit and isolated agricultural operations. Tracing the intersections of Wildcat Canyon or Boyd Canyon with the river provides insight into the natural barriers that have shaped movement and settlement patterns in this part of the Trans-Pecos region.
