2012 Map of Molesworth Mesa North

About this map

Cornudas Ranch and Double U Ranch anchor this arid Hudspeth County landscape, reflecting the sparse ranching infrastructure typical of West Texas in the early 21st century. The terrain is defined by the high ground of Molesworth Mesa in the south, giving way to the erosional patterns of Buck Horn Draw. A network of unpaved tracks, including Stewart Ranch Rd, connects remote outposts and vital water sources such as Snake Tank, Brown Tank, and the aptly named The Lake. This map captures a landscape where survival depends on these scattered catchments, providing a detailed look at the ranching economy and geographical layout of the High Desert before more recent developments changed the region's character.
