1975 Map of Cornudas Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Cornudas Mountains dominate the landscape of the New Mexico and Texas border, where prominent peaks like Cornudas Mountain and Wind Mountain rise above the high desert floor. This 1970s survey captures a sparse ranching environment where water management was essential to survival, evidenced by the high density of catchment features such as Harris Tank, Vince Tank, and Cactus Tank. The presence of the Cornudas Ranch and a nearby Landing Strip suggests the scale and necessity of aerial accessibility in this remote borderland. Significant topographical landmarks like Flat Top and Deer Mountain provide clear navigation points across a terrain marked by ephemeral watercourses such as Cornudas Draw and Chess Draw. The map also documents specific infrastructure like Alamo Windmill and the CCC Tank, which illustrate the long history of land modification and water resource development in Otero County and Hudspeth County.
