1982 Map of Sentinel Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Sentinel Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this arid portion of the Hueco Mountains in the early 1980s. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems and water management features, critical for life and livestock in the New Mexico borderlands. Seasonal watercourses like Bear Creek, Willow Creek, and Bull Creek cut through the terrain, while human interventions are visible through the presence of a Check Dam and the Pp2 Wind Mill. The area around Alamo Hueco and the deep cuts of Wood Canyon and Black Canyon showcase the geological complexity of the range. A noted Cave and various survey points indicate a landscape that was both a site for ranching infrastructure and remote exploration, where natural topography dictated the placement of every fence line and water source.
