2016 Map of Pena Blanca Mountains
USGS Topo · Published 2016About this map
The Peña Blanca Mountains define the eastern profile of this high-desert landscape in Brewster County, where ridges and canyons reveal a complex system of drainage and water management. To the west, the Wood Hollow Mountains rise above a series of significant basins including Dagger Flat and Lightning Flat. This 2016 survey documents a network of vital water points necessary for ranching in this arid environment, such as Wood Hollow Tank and Hackberry Tank. These features, along with Lake Hollow, illustrate the region's historical reliance on seasonal catchment. Evidence of land use is further marked by the presence of Chaney Ranch Rd and numerous draws, including Dagger Flat Draw and Horse Mountain Draw, which channel runoff through the rugged terrain of the Trans-Pecos region.
