2016 Map of Jordan Gap

About this map

Jordan Gap sits as a central topographic passage in this high-elevation landscape within Presidio County. The terrain is defined by massive flat-topped features including Antelope Mesa and Gemelo Mesa, which tower over the surrounding drainage basins. This 2016 survey illustrates the significant vertical relief of the Trans-Pecos region, where Alamito Cr winds through the lower elevations to the northwest. The deep depression of Paradise Valley creates a distinct natural corridor between these elevated landforms. For researchers of West Texas geography, the map provides a precise look at the drainage patterns and land contours that dictate movement through this sparsely populated environment, highlighting how the natural gaps and mesas have shaped regional access and land use.
