The high desert peaks of the Cornudas Mountains define this arid landscape along the New Mexico and Texas border. Prominent summits like Cornudas Mtn, Wind Mtn, and Deer Mtn rise sharply above the basin floor, where survival for early ranchers depended entirely on the network of tanks and draws shown here. State Line Tank and CCC Tank highlight the human efforts to manage water in Otero and Hudspeth counties, while seasonal drainage patterns are traced through Cornudas Draw and Wind Mountain Draw. This survey captures the region's ranching infrastructure, connected by a network of county roads such as Dell City Rd and CO Road F010. The presence of several named peaks including Chatfield Mtn and San Antonio Mtn reveals a complex topography that historically served as critical landmarks for travelers crossing this borderland terrain.
