2016 Map of Hackett Peak

About this map

The high desert landscape of West Texas is defined here by the meeting of the Millican Hills and the Beach Mountains. This 2016 survey documents the industrial and geological character of Hudspeth and Culberson Counties, where the small settlement of Crusher sits near the base of the Carrizo Mountains. The topography is dominated by prominent summits including Hackett Peak and Carrizo Peak, which overlook a network of seasonal drainages such as Carrizo Cr, Hackberry Cr, and Mineral Cr. This map captures the modern infrastructure of the region, specifically where the southern desert flats meet the rising limestone and volcanic formations. It provides a clear record of the access roads and land contours surrounding the historical mining and quarrying operations that gave the area its namesake features.
