Guadalupe Peak and the iconic profile of El Capitan dominate this high-altitude landscape in the Trans-Pecos region of West Texas. This 2011 survey illustrates a terrain defined by deep canyons and prominent ridges, where water sources like Smith Spring, Juniper Spring, and Bone Spring provide critical points of interest in an otherwise arid environment. The map details human activity concentrated along the highway near Pine Springs, including the Pine Spring Campground and the historic Frijole Ranch. Farther north, the rugged isolation of the backcountry is marked by features like Pratt Lodge near North McKittrick Canyon and Ligon Ranch situated along the lower reach of Nickel Creek. This edition captures the established trail and road networks, such as Frijole Ranch Rd and Dog Canyon Rd, that navigate the complex topography between Hunter Peak and the Delaware River.
