About this map

The Glass Mountains dominate this West Texas landscape, where the high peaks of Leonard Mountain and Marie Mountain overlook a network of ranching infrastructure. This high-desert terrain is defined by its water management, evidenced by numerous livestock tanks such as No Good Tank, Cedar Tank, and Granger Tank. The Hess Ranch serves as a primary center of activity in a region where survival and industry depend on scattered water sources and wind-driven wells.

Arid drainage patterns are visible through Peña Colorado Creek and Skinner Canyon, while the local economy is traced through an extensive system of windmills including Willow Windmill, Star Windmill, and Martin Windmill. The presence of the Old Stockton Well and various Stockton Windmills suggests historical transit or land-use corridors that have long supported the remote cattle operations of Brewster County.
