2016 Map of Bitter Well Mountain SW

About this map

Diablo Rim dominates the southern landscape of this West Texas terrain, where the sharp elevation changes of the escarpment transition into the drainage of Apache Canyon. This 2016 survey captures a stark corner of the Trans-Pecos where the boundary between Hudspeth Co and Culberson Co runs north-to-south across an arid expanse. The isolation of the region is punctuated only by occasional water management features like John Garner Tank, located just north of the rim's base. The map illustrates a classic desert basin-and-range topography, where dramatic cliff faces and seasonal runoff channels define the land use and movement through this remote borderland.
