1983 Map of Cuesta Del Burro NW

About this map

Mc Minn Camp stands as a primary point of human activity in this arid stretch of Presidio County, surveyed during the mid-1970s and published in the early 1980s. The landscape is defined by the broad expanse of Cleveland Flat and the drainage of Wild Horse Draw, where survival and ranching operations are traced through a network of isolated water sources. Named landmarks like Brite Well, Freemont Windmill, and Wooly Well provide a look into the infrastructure required for life in the West Texas high desert. Further evidence of local ranching and transit includes several Landing Strips and numerous reservoirs such as Babcock Tank and Parker Tank. These features, alongside the intermittent flow of Cat Creek, illustrate how the geography was managed and occupied in the years before modern ranching shifts.
