Cowboys rounded up the horses, herded them across the narrow neck of land and onto the point. The neck, only 30 yards wide, was then fenced off with branches and brush creating a natural corral. The best horses were then chosen, the remaining left corralled on the waterless point where they died of thirst. According to legend, the point was once used to corral wild mustangs roaming the mesa.
