2016 Map of Tinaja

About this map

Tinaja and its surrounding drainage systems characterize this Presidio County landscape as documented by the U.S. Geological Survey in 2016. The terrain is defined by several prominent dry washes, including Colquitt Draw, Chambers Draw, and Long Draw, which carve through the high-desert topography. Transportation across this area relies on a network of ranch roads such as Nopal Rd and Barlite Rd, which serve the expansive private holdings typical of the Big Bend region. The Alta Vista Ranch Airport provides a key point of remote access in the southeastern portion of the quadrangle, while Antelope Springs offers a rare named water source. This survey illustrates the modern ranching infrastructure of West Texas, where vast distances are bridged by isolated airfields and essential watershed management features.
