1972 Map of Eagle Mountains SE

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Eagle Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Hudspeth County, where complex topography and deep canyons define the human footprint. The map documents a sparsely populated ranching and mining environment, centered around Indio Ranch and various water sources essential for survival in the Trans-Pecos. Resource extraction is evident at the Black Diamond Mine and several Prospect sites, while the network of Jeep Trails provides the primary means of navigating the intricate drainages of Oxford Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon. Water features like Oxford Spring and Squaw Spring serve as critical landmarks in an otherwise arid expanse. The elevation changes are most pronounced around Squaw Peak and Squaw Pass, illustrating the geographic barriers that directed historical travel through this part of West Texas.
