Sorry I did not see your question sooner. Yes, the only place we found a map was at the Visitor’s Center, run mostly by volunteers. Once you get a map it shows the hiking areas around Dripping Springs. We did not go to other places in Organ Mountains. We did go to “nearby” Franklin Mountains State Park- Tom Mays Unit - has some easy & rugged paths. Don’t go to headquarters of Franklin Mountains SP on McKelligon Canyon Rd. - no trails there & infrequent office hours. Hope you enjoyed your stay in this enchanting area.
