2016 Map of Pine Mountain East

About this map

San Francisco Creek winds through the northern reach of this Brewster County landscape, carving a deep path near Coffee Pot Canyon. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation shifts, anchored by the prominent rise of Pine Mountain in the central portion of the quadrangle. To the south, Horseshoe Mesa overlooks the drainage of Guayule Creek, illustrating the complex hydrological network of this high-desert environment. This 2016 survey captures the area's physical geography with high-resolution contour data, showing the intricate relationship between steep ridges and the seasonal watercourses that shape the land. While largely unpopulated, the naming of features like Pine Mountain and Horseshoe Mesa points to established landmarks used by ranching interests and early surveyors to navigate this corner of the Trans-Pecos region.
