2019 Map of Horseshoe Mountains

About this map

Rawls Ranch Airport sits as a primary human landmark in this remote Presidio County landscape, where transportation is defined by the winding course of Casapiedra Rd and the northern reach of Hwy 169. The terrain is dominated by significant relief, featuring the Horseshoe Mountains and the broad expanse of Tascotal Mesa to the southeast. These high elevations are deeply dissected by numerous drainages, including Fishtail Canyon, Middle Canyon, and Old Ranch Canyon. Notable peaks like San Jacinto Mtn and the isolated rise of La Viuda punctuate the horizon, while the passage at Wire Gap suggests a natural conduit between the mesa and the southern canyon systems. The seasonal hydrology is represented by features such as Holguin Cr, which carves through the arid southwest corner of the quadrangle.
