2019 Map of Eagle Mountains NW

About this map

The Eagle Mountains dominate the eastern landscape of this Hudspeth County quadrangle, where steep elevation changes give way to a vast alluvial system. Braided drainage patterns such as Red Hills Arroyo and Red Light Draw carry runoff from the high ground toward the western flats. This 2019 survey documents a network of rural access roads that follow the natural topography, including Hyter Ranch Rd and Black Hills Mine Rd, which suggest a history of ranching and resource extraction in this corner of the Trans-Pecos. In the northeast, Horse Canyon and Frenchmans Canyon carve deep recesses into the mountain face, while the Red Hills stand as a distinct topographic feature to the northwest. The map reflects a landscape defined by its aridity and the physical constraints of the basin-and-range province.
