2010 Map of Horse Mountain

About this map

Old Edith Lochausen Place and Old Corbett Place serve as primary identifiers for the human history of this arid Brewster County terrain. The landscape is defined by its water management infrastructure, with a network of windmills such as Rice Windmill and GrangerCove Windmill scattered across the flats and draws. These wells provided the essential lifelines for livestock and residents in an environment where named water sources are often ephemeral, like the Peña Blanca Creek and San Francisco Creek.
