2022 Map of Simpson Springs Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 2022

About this map

Simpson Springs Mtn and the surrounding high desert peaks dominate this portion of Brewster County, where reliable water sources have historically dictated movement across the landscape. The namesake Simpson Springs lies at the base of the mountain, joined by a network of seasonal drainages including Peña Colorado Cr and Maravillas Cr. This topographical study reveals the isolation of the Bourland range, split into West Bourland Mtn and East Bourland Mtn. The prevalence of named water points like Garden Springs, Mud Spring, and Sunshine Springs indicates the vital importance of these oases for ranching and wildlife in an otherwise arid environment. Along the eastern edge, the corridor for 385 and R RD 2730 provides the primary modern access through this rugged basin-and-range territory.
