2013 Map of Heart Mountain

About this map

Tinaja Mountains dominate the central landscape of this West Texas region, which is characterized by seasonal watercourses and remote ranching outposts. The drainage network is defined by Hackberry Cr and the winding course of Spring Cr, both feeding into a landscape where water management is critical for survival and industry. Human activity is marked by landmarks like Beckett Corner Windmill, a essential point for livestock and land management in this arid environment. Near the northern boundary, the Gage Indian Creek Ranch serves as a primary hub of activity, situated near the headwaters of Indian Cr. The eponymous Heart Mountain rises in the southern portion of the quadrangle, overlooking a network of primitive roads and intermittent springs, including Tinaja Spring, that have historically dictated the placement of trails and boundaries throughout Brewster County.
