1983 Map of Cuesta Del Burro East

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Cuesta Del Burro dominates this Presidio County landscape, an elevated landform defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and remote ranching infrastructure. The arid environment is marked by essential water sources such as Socotoso Spring and Papalote Alto Spring, which supported the livestock operations of the late twentieth century. Settlement is minimal, anchored by Nopalosa Camp and several named windmills including Chapo Windmill and Buena Vista Windmill. These features, along with various livestock tanks like Media Luna Tank, reveal a carefully managed range economy reliant on sparse water resources. The terrain is deeply dissected by drainages like Shannon Draw, Perdiz Creek, and Alamo Seco Creek, while Landing Strips in the eastern section indicate the isolation of these West Texas ranch lands, where aerial access was often more practical than the rugged Jeep Trail routes through the Black Hills.
