2022 Map of Black Hills

About this map

Red Black Hills anchors the center of this Hudspeth County landscape, characterized by a series of topographic depressions and essential water catchments that define life in the high desert. The map traces a network of ranch roads including Frederick Rd and Baylor Rd that connect isolated stock tanks, reflecting the area's continued reliance on managed water sources for cattle and wildlife. Named features like Antelope Gulch suggest the natural drainage patterns that dominate the terrain, while the naming of McGunnegle Tank, Jones Tank, and Kelsey Tank provides a window into local land ownership and the ranching families who have worked these hills. The presence of Mystery Tank and Bogus Tank adds a layer of local character to this remote West Texas survey.
