About this map

Carrizo Mountains and the Van Horn Mountains dominate this Trans-Pecos landscape, where the high desert terrain is carved by seasonal drainages like Bass Canyon and Eagle Flat Draw. The human presence in this arid region is defined by the infrastructure of the Southern Pacific Rd, which cuts through the center of the sheet near the Pinon Ranch.

Mineral interest in the area is marked by the Plata Verde Mines located in the southern foothills, while the road network connects isolated points like Scotts Crossing and Collado. Following the course of the Green River at the southern edge, the map illustrates the relationship between these remote outposts and the rugged geography that dictates the path of the Green River Rd and Scott Crossing Rd.
