2010 Map of Casket Mountain

About this map

Casket Mountain and Black Mountain anchor this high-desert landscape in Jeff Davis County, defined by a complex network of seasonal drainage systems. The topography is dominated by the massive Big Aguja Canyon, which snakes through the northern portion of the quadrangle alongside numerous smaller tributaries including Hells Canyon and Short Canyon. Evidence of land use is sparse, though Cook Flat and Mill Tanks indicate areas utilized for water catchment or livestock in this arid environment. The road network is extremely limited, with only Antler Dr appearing in the southwestern corner near Olds Creek. This map captures a quintessential stretch of West Texas high country, where named elevations like Mesa Sproul and The Nine Hill rise above the branching canyons of Cook Creek and Horse Spring Canyon.
