About this map

Guadalupe Peak and the high limestone escarpments of the Guadalupe Mountains anchor this 1993 study of the Trans-Pecos landscape. The map captures the transition from the high-altitude Guadalupe Mountains National Park down to the arid expanse of the Salt Basin and the Delaware Mountains. Traces of earlier travel and industry remain visible, including the historic Butterfield Trail and the Old Michigan Mine.

The eastern half of the quadrangle is defined by an intricate network of drainage patterns such as Virginia Draw and Horse Draw, which feed toward the Delaware River. Isolated peaks like Seven L Peak and the Rustler Hills rise from the desert floor, while the Nickel Creek Station serves as a small human waypoint along U S Highway 62-180. This survey offers a clear view of the complex topography before the turn of the 21st century.
