About this map

Alpine serves as the primary hub of this Brewster County landscape, where the urban grid is dominated by the sprawling campus of Sul Ross State University and the historic Brewster County Courthouse. The town occupies a transition point between the high desert plains and the northern edges of the Davis Mountains, with elevations rising sharply to the south at Ranger Peak and Twin Sisters.

South of the Alpine-Casparis Municipal Airport, the terrain breaks into complex drainages such as Wilson Canyon and Stockton Canyon, which channel seasonal water toward Calamity Creek. This 2022 survey captures the modern expansion of the area, including the residential development at Sierra La Rana and the established cemeteries of Holy Angels and Elm Grove, providing a clear look at how human infrastructure navigates the high-altitude topography of the Trans-Pecos.
