About this map

Milehigh is situated in a high-desert landscape defined by isolated peaks and seasonal water catchments in Hudspeth County. The settlement is centered around the Mile High Golf Course, with a network of local roads such as The Boulevard and Club House Rd providing access to the area. This 2010 survey illustrates the transition between residential development and the traditional ranching infrastructure of the Trans-Pecos region, where man-made tanks like Ward Tank and Gunsight Tank are critical markers on the land.

Prominent geological features surround the community, including the massive Sierra Blanca to the south and the distinctive Gunsight Hills to the north. Smaller summits like Little Blanca Mountain, Round Top, and Triple Hill break the horizon, while the terrain's high points are specifically identified as Cliff Top and Dyke Top. The map reflects a modern recreational community established amidst a landscape otherwise dominated by sparse ranching roads like Balluco Rd and Mesa Rd.
