2010 Map of Buckhorn Draw East

About this map

Buckhorn Draw carves through this arid stretch of Hudspeth County, serving as the primary drainage feature in a landscape defined by water scarcity. The arrangement of livestock-supporting infrastructure illustrates the ranching heritage of West Texas, where named catchments like Number Eight Tank, Moccasin Tank, and Pole Line Tank are essential landmarks. Transportation is anchored by the shared alignment of 180 62, providing a modern corridor across the desert terrain. Other isolated water sources, such as Wonder Tank and Bluff Tank, indicate the careful management of surface runoff in an environment where natural springs are absent and every local depression, including Rock Tank and Gravel Tank, serves a vital purpose for land use and navigation.
