1983 Map of Santiago Peak

About this map

Santiago Peak dominates this arid high-desert landscape in Brewster County, rising sharply above the surrounding Santiago Mountains. The 1983 edition of the area reveals a terrain defined by hydraulic features and sparse human infrastructure, where survival depends on water sources like Santiago Windmill, a Spring, and various Tanks. The drainage patterns of Calamity Creek and Chalk Draw snake through the topography, illustrating the natural conduits that shape this part of the Trans-Pecos. Evidence of ranching and land use is anchored by Potter Ranch in the southern portion of the quadrangle. A network of 4wd tracks provides the primary means of traversal through the rocky flats and mountain passes, while scattered Drill Holes indicate historical resource exploration in this remote West Texas range.
