2017 Map of Indian Peak

About this map

Indian Peak stands as a prominent landmark in this 2017 survey of southwestern Hidalgo County, where the high desert meets the rugged ridges of the Peloncillo Mountains. The terrain is defined by critical transit corridors through the highlands, most notably Antelope Pass and Burro Pass, which have historically provided passage across the mountains. Water remains a defining element for land use in this arid environment, evidenced by named sources such as Cottonwood Spring, Mud Springs, and Birtrong Tank.
