2010 Map of Indian Mountain

About this map

Indian Mountain and Black Mountain anchor this high-elevation landscape in Edwards County, where the topography is defined by a network of drainage systems feeding into the Rio Grande basin. The presence of Stagecoach Waterhole suggests a historical reliance on specific water points for transit through this arid Texas region, likely serving as a critical stop for early travelers and livestock. The area's limited infrastructure is represented by Co Rd 17, which winds through a terrain deeply etched by seasonal watercourses like Bluff Creek, Cherry Creek, and Dry Sycamore Creek. These features illustrate the traditional ranching geography of the Southwest, where land use and movement are dictated by the presence of natural springs and the winding paths of dry creek beds.
