2022 Map of P X Flat

About this map

The high-altitude desert and limestone peaks of the Guadalupe Mountains National Park dominate this landscape along the Hudspeth and Culberson county line. The terrain transitions sharply from the low-lying Salt Basin and Crow Flats in the west to the towering summits of Bush Mtn, Bartlett Peak, and Shumard Peak in the east. This section of the range is defined by deep canyons such as Pine Spring Canyon and South McKittrick Canyon, which carve through the ancient reef formation. Backcountry access is marked by several established routes, including the Bush Mountain Trl and El Capitan Trl. Water sources are sparse in this arid environment, making features like Goat Spring, Cox Tank, and the seasonal drainage of Bone Spring Draw critical landmarks for navigation and local history.
