1974 Map of Salmon Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Salmon Peak and Pear Mountain dominate this landscape in Kinney County, where the high Edwards Plateau breaks toward the Rio Grande plain. The winding course of the West Nueces River carves a deep valley through the terrain, joined by seasonal drainages like Chalk Creek and Nueces Creek. This 1970s survey captures a ranching environment defined by wide open spaces such as Grass Valley and isolated landmarks like Loma La Cruz. Evidence of local history and land use is scattered across the quadrangle, from a small Cem near the river to a remote Gaging Sta and various Wells that suggest the critical importance of water management in this semi-arid region. The presence of numerous Jeep Trails and the historic Tularosa Road indicates a network of accessibility through the gaps and canyons of the Balcones Escarpment.
