About this map

Mt Locke dominates the central landscape of this high-altitude region in West Texas, serving as a primary landmark above a complex network of canyons and ridges. The terrain is defined by deep drainage systems such as Little Aguja Canyon and Santana Canyon, while water management is evident through a series of livestock tanks and springs, including Jones Tank, Olds Tank, and the isolated Pine Peak Spring.

Human presence is marked by ranching infrastructure and a trail system that navigates the steep grades, including the Limpia Canyon Trl and Tejas Run. Named peaks like Pine Peak and Guide Peak provide orientation across the diverse topography, while the Eppenauer Ranch signifies the enduring pastoral use of this land. The map illustrates how roads like Highway 118 follow the natural contours of the land, winding through Beef Pasture Gap to connect these remote elevations.
