1983 Map of Heart Mountain

About this map

Heart Mountain and the Tinaja Mountains dominate this Brewster County landscape, defining a high-desert environment where water sources are the primary markers of human presence. The map reveals an extensive network of wind-powered infrastructure essential for ranching in the Big Bend region, with named sites such as Becket Corner Windmill, Arrott Windmill, and Yokey Windmill scattered across the terrain. These landmarks, alongside a solitary Landing Strip, represent the remote ranching operations active during the mid-1970s and early 1980s.
