2022 Map of Still Canyon

About this map

The Pecos River cuts a deep course through this segment of Val Verde County, defining a complex landscape of drainage systems and high plateaus. The topography is dominated by an intricate network of steep-walled canyons that feed into the river valley, including Still Canyon, Boyd Canyon, and Zixto Canyon. This 2022 survey illustrates the high desert terrain where narrow, winding tracks like Blue Hills Rd provide the primary access through the upland reaches. Smaller tributaries such as Wildcat Canyon and Moose Canyon further segment the land, creating a repetitive pattern of ridges and draws characteristic of this Trans-Pecos region. The map captures the area's essential character as a place defined by its hydrology and the sheer verticality of the canyon walls that separate the riverbed from the surrounding plains.
