2019 Map of Casket Mountain

About this map

Casket Mtn and the surrounding high desert of Jeff Davis County are defined by a complex network of deep drainages and volcanic peaks. The landscape is dominated by notable relief, including Black Mtn in the north and the prominent Mesa Sproul. Human activity is primarily oriented around the few access points like Sproul Rd and specialized water infrastructure such as Mill Tanks. This 2019 survey shows the area's transition into the relatively level Cook Flat before the terrain descends into the branching systems of Big Aguja Canyon and Hells Canyon. The presence of the Sheep Pen Canyon Loop suggests a history of ranching or recreational usage in these high-altitude corridors, while drainage names like Bear Canyon and Horse Spring Canyon speak to the local environmental history of the Davis Mountains region.
