About this map

Eightmile Draw and Antelope Gulch define the drainage patterns of this arid landscape in Hudspeth County, where early 1980s ranching and infrastructure are recorded in detail. The presence of Black Mountain Tank, Grable Tank, and a notable ephemeral water body known as The Laguna indicates the critical importance of water management for livestock in the Trans-Pecos region. Energy development is also prominent, with multiple pipelines and a transmission line crossing the terrain. Unlike more settled regions, the map highlights industrial and resource extraction sites such as a Gravel Pit, reflecting the sparse but functional land use of this high-desert territory during the late twentieth century.
