1983 Map of Cuesta Del Burro West

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Cleveland Flat and the dramatic ridgelines of the Cuesta Del Burro dominate this high-desert region of Presidio County. The landscape is defined by the vital necessity of water management, evidenced by the numerous named stock tanks and windmills that supported the local ranching economy in the late twentieth century. Petan Ranch stands as a primary point of habitation in a terrain marked by sharp topographical features like Needle Peak and Cathedral Peak. Below these summits, Pinto Canyon and Wild Horse Draw cut through the arid flats, while a network of primitive infrastructure, including several Jeep Trails and a remote Landing Strip, provided essential access to these isolated outposts. Several mines and prospects suggest a history of mineral exploration tucked among the slopes of Love Mesa and the surrounding draws.
