2016 Map of Antelope Flat

About this map

The high-desert terrain of West Texas is defined by the sharp transition between the Davis Mountains and the southern plains in this 2016 survey. High points such as Kaiser Peak and Mt Annie overlook the drainage systems of Cherry Cr and Canyon Cr, which flow through deep incisions in the landscape like Cherry Canyon. The boundary between Reeves Co and Jeff Davis Co cuts diagonally across the northern portion of the sheet, where FM 3078 follows the slope toward the northeast. Settlement is sparse, represented by ranching infrastructure and the Madera Springs Lodge area. The presence of water management features, including Eagle Tank and various draws like Rattlesnake Draw and Prizer Draw, highlights the historical necessity of capturing seasonal runoff in this arid environment. Flatlands such as Antelope Flat and Augustine Flat provide rare stretches of level ground amidst the Red Hills and Cole Hills.
