2020 Map of Cotton City

About this map

Cotton City stands as the primary settlement in this southwestern corner of Hidalgo County, situated on a grid of rural roads like Wright Rd and Church Rd. The topography is dominated by the Peloncillo Mountains, where several prominent peaks including Granite Gap Mtn, Preacher Mtn, and Blue Mtn define the high ground. This area serves as a critical passage through the desert terrain, evidenced by the presence of Granite Gap and Cowboy Pass. A network of canyons and drainages, such as Wood Canyon and Weatherby Canyon, suggests the seasonal water flow patterns typical of the region. The map reveals a transition from the structured township and range sections of the eastern flats into the more complex, higher elevations of Eagle Nest Peak and 1117 Mtn to the south.
