1983 Map of Horse Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Haymond Mountains and Pe Na Blanca Mountains anchor this high-desert terrain in Brewster County, where life in the 1970s and 1980s centered around scattered water sources. This landscape is defined by its network of named windmills and tanks, essential for ranching in such an arid climate. Features like the Boots Windmill, Granger Cove Windmill, and Cry Baby Windmill dot the basins between peaks, while more colorful landmarks such as Dead Horse Hole and Dead Cow Hole suggest the harsh realities of this environment. To the south, the Devils Backbone rises above San Francisco Creek, complemented by the evocative names of Half Acre and Hells. A solitary Landing Strip near Fighting Flat serves as a reminder of the vast distances and the reliance on air travel for reaching these isolated West Texas outposts.
