2016 Map of Smith Hills

About this map

North Fork Alamito Creek and South Fork Alamito Creek carve through this high desert terrain, marking a landscape defined by significant drainage patterns like Big Trestle Draw and Fourmile Draw. The map captures the intersection of rural ranching infrastructure and modern aviation, centered near the Marfa Municipal Airport in the southeastern corner. The dividing line between Jeff Davis and Presidio Counties bisects the northern half of the sheet, illustrating how political boundaries overlay the natural topography of the hills. Access is traced via isolated routes such as Hughes Ranch Rd and Smith-Coffey Rd, which navigate the elevation changes between the namesake peaks and the lower-lying creek beds.
