2022 Map of Victorio Peak

About this map

Victorio Peak dominates the western escarpment of this Trans-Pecos landscape, marking a sharp transition from the elevated western plateau down to the salt basin floor. The terrain is defined by the steep descent through Victorio Canyon and the southern rise of the Baylor Mountains. Water in this arid environment is ephemeral, noted at Baylor Pond and the drainage of Baylor Draw. Cattle ranching infrastructure and land use are evidenced by isolated routes like Wingo Rd and Z Flat Rd that cross the alluvial fans at the base of the mountains. This 2022 survey captures the modern topography of a sparsely populated region of Culberson County, where natural features like Bull Canyon remain the primary landmarks for navigation and land management.
