2017 Map of Alamo Mountain

About this map

Alamo Mountain dominates the southeastern corner of this high-desert landscape on the border of New Mexico and Texas. The terrain is defined by a critical network of water catchments essential for ranching and survival in this arid environment, including Alamo Tank, Grief Tank, and Copper Bottom Tank. These water sources are connected by a system of county roads and tracks like Co RD f001 and Co RD f007 that traverse the township boundaries of t25s r12e and t26s r13e. Near the base of the mountain, Alamo Spring provides a rare natural water source, while the northern reaches are drained by the winding Hackberry Draw. This survey captures a specialized landscape of resource management, where named tanks such as King Tank and Mixen Tank represent the vital infrastructure of the rural borderlands.
