About this map

Loma Alta sits as the primary settlement node along US Hwy 277 in this arid landscape, where the ephemeral waters of the Dry Devils River and its numerous tributaries have carved a complex network of canyons and draws. The geography is defined by deep incisions like Rough Canyon and Prickly Pear Canyon, which dictate the paths of ranch roads and historic tracks such as Dolan Creek Rd.

Land use is largely defined by sprawling ranching operations, evidenced by the private access of Ea Daves Ranch Rd and numerous family-named landmarks including Tom and Henry Canyon and Davis Draw. The eastern portion of the quadrangle is marked by significant topographical shifts where Vinegarone Draw and the Mailtrail Cr meet the river valley, illustrating the harsh, drainage-focused terrain of the Edwards Plateau.
