1983 Map of Sosa Peak

About this map

Sosa Peak dominates this arid landscape in Brewster County, marking a high point above a network of desert drainage systems. The topography is defined by the sharp incisions of Big Dark Canyon and Little Dark Canyon, which funnel toward the broader wash of Maravillas Creek. This 1983 survey captures a territory where water management is critical for land use, evidenced by the scattered locations of a Well, a Windmill, and several designated Tank sites used to capture precious runoff.
