1973 Map of Bitter Well Mountain SW

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Sierra Diablo mountains dominate the southern portion of this West Texas landscape, giving way to a vast Depression to the north. This arid terrain in Hudspeth and Culberson Counties is defined by its water-management features, essential for ranching and survival in the high desert. Scattered across the basin are isolated improvements such as North End Tub, Cotton Well, and Wade Tank. An Indefinite Boundary separates the two counties, while a prominent Pipeline cuts across the northern flats, signaling the industrial infrastructure of the 1970s. The transition from the steep elevation of Apache Can to the level plains of the north illustrates the rugged geological divide of the region.
