2016 Map of Cornudas

About this map

Sierra Tinaja Pinta dominates the northern landscape of this West Texas region, where the rugged peaks meet the open desert floor near the small settlement of Cornudas. This 2016 survey documents a terrain defined by ancient drainage patterns and ranching infrastructure, such as Mayfield Ranch Rd and Foster Ranch Rd, which navigate the wide basins between Miller Mtn and the various local draws. The presence of the Flying Eagle Ranch Airport adjacent to the highway corridor highlights the continued importance of private aviation in managing these expansive arid lands. For the researcher, the map captures the hydrologic network of Hitson Draw, University Draw, and Buena Vista Draw, tracing how water moves through the basin during rare precipitation events in this corner of Hudspeth County.
