2019 Map of Paradise Mountain

About this map

Paradise Mtn rises above a high-desert landscape in Jeff Davis County, defined by its complex network of named drainages and ranching corridors. The area around Barrel Springs and Medley Draw indicates a region where water sources were critical for land management, evidenced by features like Blackeye Tank. This modern survey illustrates the persistent imprint of ranching families on the geography, with several roads and canyons named for the local Medley, Gearhart, and Kelly operations. To the south, Mine Mtn and Crows Nest Hill overlook the basin, while the north is dominated by high terrain such as Pine Mesa and White Mtn. The map tracks the winding course of Medley Canyon and Pet Canyon as they carve through the arid peaks toward the Alamito Creek forks.
