1979 Map of McCutchen Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Rio Bravo Grande carves a winding international border through this remote Chihuahuan Desert landscape, dividing Presidio County from Mexico during the late 1970s. This survey, compiled from 1972 aerial photography and 1974 field checks, illustrates a sparsely populated ranching territory where survival depended on scattered water sources like Widow Spring and seasonal drainages such as San Carlos Creek. Significant human landmarks include Mc Cutchen Ranch and the settlement of Buenavista, alongside several small habitations on the southern bank of the river including El Comedor and El Campo De La Ventana. The presence of an Aeropista (Abandonada) near the Los Fresnos crossing point suggests a shift in transportation or land use, while the prominence of the Sierra Los Fresnos ridge defines the western topography of the quadrangle.
