1973 Map of Bitter Well Mountain NW

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Hydrological survival in the arid high desert of West Texas defines the landscape of the Hudspeth and Culberson County border. This survey reveals a terrain dominated by a massive, unnamed depression that stretches across the quadrangle, serving as a catchment area for the region's sparse rainfall. The human presence is almost entirely tethered to these water sources, marked by family-named or descriptively titled locations such as Soda Wells, Black John Well, and the evocatively named Hardluck Well.
