1984 Map of Adobe House Tank

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Molesworth Mesa dominates the western topography of this Hudspeth County landscape, its steep escarpments overlooking a network of seasonal water drainage systems. This mid-1980s provisional survey illustrates a remote ranching environment where life and movement are dictated by the intermittent flows of University Draw and Antelope Draw. The scarcity of permanent surface water is evidenced by the strategic placement of stock tanks throughout the region, including the namesake Adobe House Tank and Cinco De Mayo Tank. These features, along with Palma Tank and Roan Tank, represent the vital infrastructure of West Texas high-desert land management. The map details a landscape of pipelines and corrals, showing how the terrain was adapted for livestock and resource management in an era before significant modern development altered these remote stretches.
