About this map

Sierra Vieja dominates the southwestern corner of this landscape, marking a dramatic shift in topography where the highland terrain drops toward Howard Canyon. This modern survey of the remote ranchlands in Presidio County reveals a sparse but vital network of infrastructure centered around water and transport. Roads such as Chilicote Rd and Old Brite Rd navigate the open country, connecting isolated points of interest like the Nancy Anne Ranch.

Water management is the defining human footprint in this arid region, as seen through the placement of North Tank and Durazno Tank. These catchments, along with drainage features like Wild Horse Draw and Walnut Draw, highlight the essential reliance on seasonal hydrography in the high desert. The map captures a contemporary look at these long-standing land holdings and the ephemeral Wild Horse Cr as they appeared in 2022.
