2020 Map of Whitewater Mountains

About this map

The United States of America Estados Unidos Mexicanos border cuts directly across this landscape, marking a stark geopolitical division in the high desert. To the north, the rugged terrain of the Whitewater Mountains rises sharply, providing a dramatic backdrop to the remote international crossing at Antelope Wells. This area serves as a critical point of transit and monitoring along the southern edge of Hidalgo County, where the desert floor of the Playas Valley meets the mountain passes. Sparse water sources are noted by labels such as Highway Tank and the uniquely named Boogs Defeat Tank, reflecting the arid conditions that shaped ranching and travel through the San Luis Pass. The map details the transition from the mountainous township of t34s r18w into the open drainage of Deer Cr and the valley to the east.
