1968 Map of Housetop Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

House Top Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Brewster County, where the terrain transitions from steep ridges to broad, arid plains. The presence of numerous Water Tanks and a dedicated Well indicates a landscape shaped by ranching requirements, as these features provide essential resources in an area otherwise drained by ephemeral watercourses like Willow Creek and Dry Creek. Settlement patterns are minimal, with the infrastructure largely centered on transportation and land management, including a series of fence lines that cross the high plateaus and canyons.
