2010 Map of Movie Mountain

About this map

Movie Mountain rises above a desert landscape defined by ranching infrastructure and wide ephemeral basins in this West Texas survey. The terrain is centered on the local prominence of the mountain itself and nearby Seed Mountain, while the low-lying Blanca Flats stretch across the southwest. The human footprint is sparse but functional, centered on the Pierce Ranch and a network of essential water sources including Corner Tank, Horse Trap Tank, and Two Section Tank. These artificial tanks and simple dirt tracks like Big Tank Rd and Macado Rd illustrate the logistical realities of land management in Hudspeth County. The map provides a clear look at the distribution of these isolated landmarks and the vast drainage patterns that shape life in the Trans-Pecos region.
