2016 Map of Stillwell Crossing

About this map

Stillwell Crossing anchors this border survey where the Rio Grande carves a deep path between the United States and Mexico. The landscape is dominated by the dramatic elevation changes of the Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River and the southeastern edge of Big Bend National Park. Notable infrastructure includes the Gerstacker Bridge and the Heath Canyon Airport, serving this isolated stretch of Brewster County. The terrain is characterized by a series of significant drainage features like Telephone Canyon, Horse Canyon, and Driftwood Canyon that cut through the highlands toward the river. Access is primarily via Ranch Rd 2627 and Health Creek Rd, which provide the only modern transit through the complex network of draws and creeks like Stillwell Cr and Heath Creek.
