2010 Map of Hen Egg Mountain

About this map

Hen Egg Mountain and the surrounding high desert terrain define this portion of Brewster County, where the landscape is marked by isolated peaks and seasonal watercourses. The presence of Crenshaw Camp, Three Bar Ranch, and Adobe Walls indicates a sparsely populated region primarily characterized by ranching operations. Water management is central to life here, evidenced by the scattered locations of Ward Spring, Yellow Jacket Spring, and Paynes Waterhole. A network of unpaved tracks, including Hen Egg Rd and Salt Grass Rd, provides the only access through the rugged draws like Steep Draw and Adobe Walls Draw. The area’s complex drainage system is centered on Terlingua Creek, which winds through the western half of the map, and Dark Canyon Creek to the east, illustrating the importance of natural watersheds in this arid West Texas environment.
