2012 Map of Maravillas Gap

About this map

Maravillas Gap serves as a prominent natural passage through the high terrain of Brewster County, where the desert landscape is defined by drainage patterns and isolated peaks. The ephemeral waters of Maravillas Cr wind through the center of the sheet, joined by Hackberry Cr and Spring Cr as they navigate the arid floor. Human activity in this portion of the Trans-Pecos is sparse, centered primarily on ranching infrastructure and the private Maravillas Gap Ranch Airport, which provides essential aerial access to this expansive country. To the northeast, the elevation of Three Mile Hill stands as a distinct navigational landmark for those traveling the limited road network that skirts the eastern edge of the quadrangle.
