2019 Map of Barrilla Mountains West

About this map

Barrilla Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Jeff Davis County, where the terrain is defined by deep drainages and volcanic peaks. The topography is anchored by Carpenter Mtn and the prominent Needle Point, with water sources being the primary indicators of historical land use in this arid region. The map tracks several critical water points essential for ranching and survival, including House Spring, Apple Spring, and Head Spring. The presence of Carpenter Goat Tank and Shewmake Tank highlights the modification of the land for livestock, while the Dry Lake basin suggests the seasonal nature of water availability. To the south, Limpia Creek Rd follows the winding course of Limpia Cr through its namesake canyon, providing the main artery through this remote section of the Trans-Pecos near the Reeves County line.
