2019 Map of Guadalupe Peak

About this map

Pine Springs sits at the base of the highest elevations in Texas, serving as a gateway to the high desert wilderness. This map reveals a landscape defined by dramatic limestone escarpments and a network of springs essential for life in the arid climate, including Choza Spring and Guadalupe Spring. The topography is dominated by the massive block of the Guadalupe Mountains National Park, where the Tejas Trail and Guadalupe Peak Trail lead to the summit of Guadalupe Peak. The eastern plains are accessed by rural routes such as Frijole Ranch Rd and Ligon Ranch Rd, while the Delaware River begins its course through the canyons. The alignment of trails and springs highlights the historical importance of water sources for travelers navigating the mountain passes near the iconic silhouette of El Capitan.
