Guadalupe fescue is a grass species known only in a few high mountain ranges of the Chihuahuan desert in Trans-Pecos Texas and Coahuila, Mexico. Although historically it has been found at eight sites, only four existing populations are currently known: one at Big Bend National Park, Texas, two in the Maderas del Carmen Area de Protección de Flora y Fauna in Coahuila, and one at Ejido El Fraile in Coahuila.
