2022 Map of Horseshoe Mountains

About this map

Rawls Ranch Airport sits at the base of the high plateau in this high-desert portion of Presidio County. The landscape is defined by the massive Tascotal Mesa and the drainage patterns of Holguin Cr, which cut through the steep escarpments. To the north, the terrain is marked by prominent peaks such as San Jacinto Mtn and La Viuda. Navigation through this isolated ranching country is provided by Casapiedra Rd and Hwy 169, which follow the natural contours of the land. Deep geographical cuts like Fishtail Canyon and Old Ranch Canyon demonstrate the erosive forces at work in the Trans-Pecos, while Wire Gap suggests a historical point of passage through the mountainous barriers. The placement of the airport amidst these dramatic landforms highlights the reliance on aerial access in this expansive Texas territory.
