2019 Map of Sheep Peak

About this map

Sheep Peak rises as a dominant landmark in this high-desert landscape situated along the western edge of Culberson County. The area is defined by sharp topographic relief and a critical reliance on natural water sources, evidenced by the distribution of Yellow Spring, Wood Canyon Spring, and Cowan Spring. These perennial points historically served as vital anchors for early trans-Pecos travel and ranching. The southern portion of the map is marked by the distinct elevations of the Beach Mountains and Tumbledown Mtn, while Sulphur Cr and Hackberry Cr carve drainage paths through the arid terrain. The map also delineates the precise boundary where the county meets neighboring Hudspeth County, cutting across the winding path of Wood Canyon.
