2023 Map of Alamo Mountain

About this map

Alamo Mtn dominates the southeastern portion of this arid landscape where New Mexico meets the Texas state line. The terrain is defined by an extensive network of water catchment features, reflecting the vital importance of moisture management in this high-desert environment. Strategic sites such as Alamo Spring and the nearby Alamo Tank provided essential water sources in a region primarily drained by ephemeral features like Hackberry Draw. The map reveals a sparse infrastructure composed mostly of designated county roads, including Co RD f001 and Co RD f059, which connect widely separated landmarks like Murphy Tank and King Tank. This layout suggests a landscape dedicated to large-scale ranching or resource management rather than dense settlement, where every named tank and spring served as a critical waypoint for travelers and locals alike.
