About this map

Sierra Diablo dominates this high-altitude landscape where the boundary between Hudspeth and Culberson counties cuts through a series of dramatic limestone escarpments and canyon systems. The elevation peaks at Apache Peak in the north and Cave Peak to the southeast, overlooking the sheer drop-offs of the Diablo Rim. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Apache Canyon, Black John Canyon, and Marble Canyon, which reveal the structural complexity of this West Texas range.

Evidence of human attempts to manage this arid environment appear at Apache Spring and New Tank, while unpaved routes like Garren Rd and Marvel Rd navigate the rugged topography. The presence of Mine Canyon suggests a history of resource prospecting in the limestone bluffs. This survey provides a clear look at the intricate drainage patterns of Witherspoon Draw and North Cedar Draw as they funnel water away from the mountain peaks.
