2016 Map of White Hills

About this map

White Hills rises as a prominent landmark in this desert landscape of southern Brewster County, where the hydrology of the Big Bend region is defined by scattered water sources and deep drainage cuts. Vital water points such as Cottonwood Spring and the Little Corazones Spring system provided essential resources for ranching and travelers in an arid environment. The vast Comanche Prairie dominates the western portion of the map, transitioned by complex topographic features like Jack Eden Mesa and Red Bluff. This 2016 survey documents the modern road network servicing the area, including Terlingua Ranch Rd and numerous named local routes such as Snake Rd and Oso Blanco Rd. The terrain is deeply incised by canyons, including Pipeline Canyon and Cartwright Canyon, showing the erosional character of the high desert floor.
