About this map

Sierra Diablo dominates this section of West Texas, where the high desert landscape is defined by massive escarpments and deep limestone incisions. The Diablo Rim forms a stark natural boundary near Apache Peak, overlooking a complex system of drainage features including Apache Canyon and Black John Canyon. This 2016 survey documents a territory where water sources are vital but scarce, marked by the presence of Apache Spring and New Tank in the southern reaches.

Industrial and transit history is suggested by named features like Mine Canyon and the winding course of Marvel Rd and Garren Rd, which provide the only managed access through the high-elevation terrain. From the heights of Cave Peak to the depths of North Cedar Draw, the map provides a precise record of the physical geography and land management boundaries between Hudspeth and Culberson counties.
