2019 Map of Gilpin

About this map

Gilpin sits at the center of this 2019 survey, marking a quiet settlement in the ranch lands of West Texas. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the western plains and the broken canyon country to the east. Waterways like Sage Draw and Dry Duck Cr carve through the terrain, eventually feeding into the larger drainage of Duck Cr. To the north and east, the elevation rises toward Red Hill, giving way to a network of named incisions including Dark Canyon, Getaway Canyon, and John Bell Canyon.
