2019 Map of Adobe House Tank

About this map

Adobe House Tank sits at the heart of this arid Hudspeth County landscape, illustrating the critical role of water management in the high Chihuahuan Desert. The map captures a topography defined by significant drainage systems, where University Draw and Antelope Draw cut through the terrain toward the basin floors. Human presence in this environment is largely defined by the extensive network of cattle tanks and remote ranching infrastructure. These isolated water sources, including Cinco De Mayo Tank, Roan Tank, and Palma Tank, are the primary landmarks across the desert flats. Navigation through this territory relies on the solitary path of Ranch Rd 2317, which provides the only major vehicle access through the shifting elevations and dry creek beds like Mohawk Draw.
