2022 Map of Cuesta Del Burro West

About this map

Cuesta del Burro and Cathedral Peak anchor this remote section of Presidio County, where the high desert landscape is defined by dramatic elevation changes and dry watercourses. The drainage patterns are dominated by Wild Horse Draw and Wild Horse Cr, which cut through the northern reaches of the quadrangle. Transportation through this isolated terrain is limited to a few established corridors, including Ranch Rd 2810 and the winding Pinto Canyon Rd. The topographic detail reveals the complex network of ridges and basins surrounding Pinto Canyon, illustrating the challenging geography of the Big Bend region. Private land access is noted via Petan Ranch Rd, providing a clear view of the ranching infrastructure and remote road networks as they existed in the early 21st century.
