From INTRODUCTORY
The Glass Mountains is a designation given to a hilly and mountainous belt running in a direction from northeast to southwest for a distance of about 24 miles, extending from Altuda and Lenox on the Southern Pacific Railway across and beyond the boundary line between Brewster and Pecos Counties to near the main highway between Stockton and Marathon. The belt is from six to fifteen miles in width. The Glass Mountains have a gentle slope to the northwest, which is a dip slope, and have abrupt, but broken, erosion cliffs to the southeast. Drainage is from the crest of the mountains in both directions.
