1973 Map of Guadalupe Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Guadalupe Mountains National Park dominates the northwest corner of this West Texas survey, where the high peaks of the range drop sharply toward the Delaware Mountains. The terrain is defined by a series of deep drainages and ridges, including Glover Canyon and the winding Brushy Canyon. Human presence in this arid landscape is concentrated along the transit corridor of Guadalupe Pass, where multiple pipelines and gravel pits follow the natural topography. Water sources, vital for ranching and survival in Culberson County, are marked by isolated features like Pinon Tank, Big Pinon Tank, and the seasonal Delaware River. Distinctive landmarks such as Lone Cone, the prominent Shy Mesa, and the uniquely named Chinaman Hat provide essential orientation points across the desert floor and rugged mesa tops.
