2019 Map of Cuesta Del Burro West

About this map

Cathedral Peak stands as a prominent landmark in this corner of Presidio County, marking a landscape defined by sharp elevation shifts and deep drainage patterns. The high desert terrain is carved by the Pinto Canyon, which winds through the southern portion of the map, while the expansive Wild Horse Draw and Wild Horse Cr provide a focal point for the northern drainage system. This 2019 survey documents the sparse but vital infrastructure of the West Texas ranching country, where long-distance routes like Ranch Rd 2810 and Petan Rnch Rd serve as the primary conduits through the basin. The topographic detail highlights the geological formation of the Cuesta del Burro, illustrating the characteristic tilted plateaus and escarpments that define this specific region of the Trans-Pecos.
