2022 Map of Yellow House Peak

About this map

Yellow House Peak and the high desert terrain of Brewster County dominate this 2022 survey, reflecting a landscape defined by ranching and natural topography. The area is characterized by scattered peaks and ridges, including the Black Hills and the East Black Hills, which rise above the surrounding plains. The presence of the Mayhew Ranch Number 1 Airport near Dove Mountain Rd highlights the scale of West Texas landholdings, where private aviation often serves as a vital link for remote ranching operations. Drainage patterns are etched into the desert floor by seasonal waterways such as Bear Creek and Guayule Cr, which flow through the arid basins. This map provides a precise look at modern land use and infrastructure in a part of the state where human presence is sparse and largely tied to the ranching economy.
