1983 Map of Hess Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Glass Mountains dominate this West Texas landscape along the high border of Brewster and Pecos Counties. The terrain is defined by a complex network of canyons and draws, including Javelina Canyon, Dead Horse Canyon, and Gilliland Canyon. This 1983 survey illustrates a high-desert ranching economy dependent on dispersed water sources, marked by numerous named catchments such as Michigan Tank, China Tank, Piñon Tank, and the uniquely named Double Jug Windmill.
