About this map

The Silver Bell Mine and Bug House Mine sit among the high terrain of the Leitendorf Hills, marking a landscape defined by mineral extraction and livestock water infrastructure. In the early 21st century, this corner of Hidalgo County maintains a sparse network of ranching and mining sites, connected by long stretches of unpaved roads like County Rd-A008.

Ephemeral water sources such as Mansfield Wash and Hampton Draw dictate the local geography, leading toward man-made points like Goat Camp Tank and Wheelbarrow Tank. The Presence of the Lighting Dock Area KGRA in the southern portion of the map indicates interest in Known Geothermal Resource Areas, while distinctive peaks like Mexican Hat and Swallow Fork Peak provide natural orientation across the high desert.
