2012 Map of Cathedral Mountain

About this map

Cathedral Mountain and the high desert terrain of Brewster County dominate this 2012 survey, revealing the remote geography of the Texas Trans-Pecos. The landscape is defined by massive topographic features like McIntyre Peak, Terry Mesa, and Marble Mountain, which overlook the seasonal drainage networks of Calamity Cr and Goat Cr. Human activity is centered on ranching, specifically at the Haley Ranch, while the broad expanse of One O One Flat suggests the scale of local cattle grazing operations. The map provides a look at a sparsely populated region where the character of the land dictates the placement of tracks and homesteads, preserving the ranching legacy of West Texas well into the twenty-first century.
