1983 Map of Bissett Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Bissett Mountain and Carson Mountain anchor this high-desert landscape in Brewster County, where the terrain is defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainage patterns. Surveyed in the mid-1970s and edited for publication in the early 1980s, the map reveals a ranching and transport infrastructure tailored to this arid environment. Strategic water management is evident in the placement of numerous catchments, including Van Pelt Tank, Mah Pe Tank, and Nixon Tank. Natural drainages like Antelope Draw and Booster Mill Draw carve the basin floor between prominent heights like Pate Peak. Human activity is marked by more than just livestock tanks; a remote Landing Strip and a Drill Hole signify the region's connection to wider aviation and exploration interests during this era of West Texas development.
