1983 Map of Heart Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

The Tinaja Mountains and Heart Mountain dominate this West Texas landscape, defining a region where water sources dictate human presence. Named springs and wells, such as Tinaja Spring, Wagon Well, Shovel Handle Spring, and Cane Spring, are the primary landmarks in an arid terrain carved by Hackberry Creek and Little Dark Canyon. The map reveals the infrastructure of remote ranching life through an extensive network of family-named and descriptive water-pumping sites, including Kriebaum Windmill, Yokey Windmill, and Burnt House Windmill. These features, connected primarily by 4wd tracks, illustrate the isolated nature of Brewster County's interior in the early 1980s. A solitary Landing Strip provides a necessary link to the outside world, underscoring the distance between these mountain outposts and established settlements.
