Casket Mountain and Black Mountain anchor this high-elevation landscape in the Davis Mountains, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems. The topography is deeply incised by major features such as Big Aguja Canyon, Hells Canyon, and Horse Spring Canyon, which create a complex vertical relief. A historical reliance on managed water in this arid environment is evident at Mill Tanks in the northern reaches, while the lower elevations near Cook Flat and along Sproul Road suggest the primary corridors for movement through the district. Small seasonal drainages like Olds Creek and Cook Creek feed into the larger canyon systems, illustrating the hydrological patterns that have shaped land use and ranching access in this portion of Jeff Davis County.
