2019 Map of Cupola Mountain

About this map

Cupola Mtn and Black Mtn anchor this remote Brewster County landscape, where the terrain is defined by deep drainage systems like Reagan Canyon and Big Canyon. This 2019 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise look at the arid topography of West Texas, captured through imagery from the National Agriculture Imagery Program. The map reveals a land almost entirely dominated by natural contours and dry watercourses, showing very little human development. For the researcher, it offers an exacting record of the physical geography and elevations as they were maintained in the early twenty-first century, useful for understanding the scale of these West Texas landmarks.
