2022 Map of Dugout Mountain

About this map

Del Norte Mountains dominate the western horizon of this Brewster County landscape, giving way to the prominent peak of Dugout Mtn to the east. The terrain is defined by a series of drainage systems and gaps, including Payne Draw and the narrow passage at Dugout Gap, which suggest the natural travel corridors used in this arid region. Water sources, though sparse, are specifically marked at Chalk Valley Spring and Emilio Spring, providing essential landmarks for understanding historical land use and ranching patterns. A singular named thoroughfare, Arnold Ranch Rd, provides the only significant vehicular access through the center of the quadrangle. The map also traces the winding courses of Maravillas Cr and Dugout Cr through the southern reaches of Chalk Valley and the Payne Hills.
