2010 Map of Adobe House Tank

About this map

Adobe House Tank sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Hudspeth County, serving as a critical water point in a region defined by arid drainages and vast mesas. The topographic data reveals the prominence of Molesworth Mesa to the west, overlooking a series of ephemeral watercourses including University Draw and Antelope Draw. These seasonal channels are punctuated by various man-made reservoirs such as Cinco De Mayo Tank and Llano Tank, which underpin the ranching infrastructure of the area. Human activity and access are concentrated along Ranch Rd 2317, which traverses the center of the quadrangle. The distribution of these tanks—from Palma Tank in the south to Roan Tank in the east—illustrates the strategic management of water across the open range of West Texas during this 2010 survey period.
