2012 Map of Mount Ord

About this map

Mount Ord and Eagle Peak anchor this high-desert terrain in Brewster County, where the landscape is defined by deep draws and isolated water sources. This 2012 survey highlights the critical role of intermittent springs and drainage systems in the Trans-Pecos, with Clark Springs, Nine Troughs Spring, and Fiftytwo Spring dotting the arid basin floors. The presence of Open Mine Hill suggests localized prospecting or mineral extraction within the complex geology surrounding the Mount Ord Basin. Navigation through this rugged section of West Texas is marked by features like Panther Hole and the courses of Calamity Cr and Maravillas Cr. These landmarks, along with named cattle-country features like L-H Draw, provide a look at the remote ranching and mining character of the region in the early 21st century.
