About this map

Mitre Peak and the surrounding volcanic landscape of the Trans-Pecos dominate this topographic survey at the intersection of Jeff Davis, Brewster, and Presidio counties. The map captures a high-desert environment defined by dramatic elevation changes, from the prominent heights of Antelope Peak and the Twin Mountains to the depths of Musquiz Canyon and Pinon Canyon. Water sources are critical landmarks in this arid region, as evidenced by Tippett Springs and Ramirez Tank.

Settlement is sparse, concentrated primarily near the southern edge in Sunny Glen, while the interior is traversed by early ranching routes like Wagon Rd and Ranch Rd 1837. The map preserves the geography of the historic Mitre Peak Girl Scout Camp area, accessed via Mitre Peak Camp Rd, illustrating how the land has been utilized for recreation and resource management between the high peaks and drainage features like Greenlee Draw.
