The Black Mountains dominate this arid landscape in Hudspeth County, Texas, rising sharply above the surrounding desert floor. This 2022 survey reveals a terrain defined by hydraulic infrastructure essential for ranching and land management in the Far West Texas backcountry. A series of strategically placed water catchments, including Quatro Julio Tank, McAdoo Tank, and Black Mountain Tank, indicate the ongoing importance of water security in this Chihuahuan Desert environment.
