2019 Map of Iron Mountain

About this map

The Apache Mountains dominate the southwestern corner of this West Texas landscape, where high ridgelines give way to a vast network of ephemeral watercourses. This arid terrain is defined by its drainage patterns, with major channels like Clayton Draw and Kent Draw carving paths across the basin floor. The isolation of the region is reflected in the sparse road network, primarily consisting of Kent Rd and FM 2424, which provide the few access points through this high-desert environment. Notable landmarks such as Red Point and Iron Mtn serve as primary navigational anchors in an area where water management is critical, evidenced by the presence of the Highway Tank. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by natural erosion, with Iron Mountain Draw and Dagger Draw illustrating the complex hydrography of Culberson County.
