1985 Map of Dove Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Black Gap Wildlife Management Area anchors the southwestern portion of this West Texas landscape, where the terrain is defined by the sharp descent of numerous drainages toward the Rio Grande. The map depicts a sparsely populated borderland during the mid-1980s, characterized by isolated peaks like Dove Mountain and Cupola Mountain. Settlement is minimal, represented by small points such as Loma Vista and Karen, and the area is crisscrossed by a network of jeep trails rather than developed roads. Water features are primarily intermittent, including Maravillas Creek and San Francisco Creek, which carve deep canyons like Reagan Canyon through the limestone of the Big Bend region. This study reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the Jackson Range and the Shatter Hills, providing a clear view of the topographical complexity along the Texas and Coahuila border before modern development altered the remote character of these ranchlands.
