2012 Map of Mitre Peak

About this map

Mitre Peak rises as the central landmark of this high-desert terrain, anchoring a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and seasonal drainage systems. The northern reaches are characterized by the winding path of Musquiz Cr and the many branches of Barillos Cr, which flow through features like Box Canyon and near Tippett Springs. This modern-era survey shows the sparse development typical of the Trans-Pecos, with human presence concentrated at Mitre Peak Camp and the small cluster at Sunny Glen in the southeast corner. Transportation is limited to functional routes like Ranch Road 1837 and specialized access ways such as Wagon Rd and Trail Rd. The map also captures several distinctive geological formations beyond the main peak, including the Twin Mountains, Castle Rock, and the isolated rise known as The Haystack.
