2016 Map of Bissett Mountain

About this map

Bissett Mountain dominates the southeastern quadrant of this Brewster County landscape, providing a high-relief anchor in an area defined by significant topographic variation. The land is marked by seasonal drainage patterns, most notably Antelope Draw and Emerson Draw, which cut through the terrain toward the lower elevations. A rare water source, Burgess Spring, is located at the southern edge of the quadrangle, a critical feature in this arid environment. Human presence is sparse and focused on transportation routes, including Highway 67 slicing through the western portion and Benge Ranch Rd winding through the center. The map reflects a modern management of the high desert, where ranching access roads and traditional water points remain the primary indicators of habitation and land use.
