2011 Map of Copperas Peak

About this map

Meerschaum Mine and the Little Victor Tunnel anchor the central portion of this high-desert landscape, signaling the area's mineral history. The southern region is defined by the waters of Sapillo Creek and the Lake Roberts Dam, which created a recreational hub featuring the Mesa Campground and Lake Roberts Campground. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevations like Copperas Peak and Buck Hannen Mountain, while water management is evident through a network of remote tanks such as Corral Tank and Thirtytwo Tank. Significant viewpoints, including the Senator Clinton P Anderson Wilderness Overlook and the Austin Roberts Vista/Point of Interest, highlight the area's importance as a preserved natural corridor. The map details the transition from the high ridges of Wild Horse Mesa to the deep incisions of Meerschaum Canyon.
