Cornudas Mountain and Wind Mountain dominate this high-desert landscape on the border of New Mexico and Texas. The terrain is defined by isolated peaks and ridges rising above a network of ephemeral drainages, including Cornudas Draw and Wind Mountain Draw. This modern survey reveals a highly specialized water-management infrastructure essential for ranching in the arid Trans-Pecos region, featuring named catchments such as Harris Tank, Cactus Tank, and the CCC Tank. The south end of the map is marked by the State Line Tank, positioned where Otero County meets the Texas border. A complex grid of county roads, such as Co RD f015 and Co RD f014, provides the primary access through this remote portion of the Chihuahuan Desert, connecting scattered geographic markers like Flat Top and Deer Mountain.
