2016 Map of Mano Prieto Mountain

About this map

Mano Prieto Mountain rises as the central landmark of this West Texas landscape, situated along the county boundary marked by Jeff Davis Co and Presidio Co. This high-desert terrain is defined by its complex drainage network, where seasonal waterways like S Fork Cienega Cr and Musquiz Cr have carved prominent relief into the earth. To the east, the Puertacitas Mountains dominate the horizon, featuring the deep incision of Pine Canyon. The map reveals a land utilized for ranching and passage, evidenced by the N Mano Prieto Loop road and several significant natural troughs, including Cuervo Draw, Ponder Draw, and Greenlee Draw. These features suggest a landscape where water management and natural corridors dictate the movement of both people and livestock through the arid canyons.
