1972 Map of Mano Prieto Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Mano Prieto Mountain dominates this landscape in the Trans-Pecos region, where high desert elevations meet the southern reaches of the Puertacitas Mountains. The 1971 aerial survey captures a terrain defined by complex drainage systems, including the northeast flow of Musquiz Creek through Musquiz Canyon and the winding course of the South Fork Cienega Creek. The border between Jeff Davis and Presidio Counties cuts across the lower half of the sheet, providing a precise reference for those researching land ownership and property lines in this remote high-altitude ranching country. Human activity is sparse but notable, marked by the long lines of a Pipeline and several isolated Gravel Pits. The presence of deep incisions like Pine Canyon and the expansive Cuervo Draw reflects the geologic forces that shaped this corner of West Texas before the era of modern development.
