2012 Map of Tinaja

About this map

Antelope Springs and the drainage network of Colquitt Draw characterize this West Texas landscape in the high desert of Presidio County. The map focuses on the small settlement of Tinaja, situated where several ephemeral watercourses like Chambers Draw and Long Draw converge. These geographical features dictate the placement of ranch infrastructure and local thoroughfares, including Mitchell Rd and Nopal Rd, which follow the natural contours of the basin. The presence of the Alta Vista Ranch Airport in the southeastern quadrant underscores the importance of private aviation in navigating this expansive ranching territory. This survey provides a precise look at the rural isolation and hydrology of the region during the early 21st century, detailing how water and transportation intersect in an arid environment.
