About this map

Amarilla Mtn and Black Mesa anchor this landscape in Brewster County, where the high desert terrain is marked by steep canyons and limestone plateaus. The map details a network of ranch roads and specialized routes like Lone Star Ranch Rd and the Sawmill Cutoff Rd, which thread through the drainage basins of Contrabando Cr and Comanche Cr. Notable geological and industrial sites are documented, including the Terlingua Sinkhole and the N Lone Star Mine, reflecting the region's mining history.

Transportation hubs such as the Lajitas International Airport stand out against the backdrop of Sierra de Cal and the Reed Plateau. Water sources, critical in this arid environment, are specifically identified at Comanche Spring and Well Cr. The topography is further defined by distinct elevations like California Hill and the Fossil Knobs, providing a clear view of the structural geology of the area.
