1972 Map of Silver King Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Malone Mountains and Quitman Mountains dominate this arid landscape in West Texas, where the terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes and a network of ephemeral watercourses. Evidence of geological exploration is scattered across the high ground, with numerous Drill Holes and a Mine Drill Hole indicating industrial interest in the vicinity of Silver King Canyon. Human activity in this remote desert environment is focused on water management and border security, as seen by the presence of livestock water sources like Dave Gill Tank and Adobe Tank. A Border Patrol Tower stands as a prominent man-made landmark along the eastern ridges. Low-lying drainage features including Arroyo Balluco and Arroyo Calero carve through the basin, while a Jeep Trail provides the primary means of navigating the interior of this rugged Hudspeth County quadrangle.
