2019 Map of Buckhorn Draw West

About this map

Buck Horn Draw winds through this arid expanse of West Texas, anchoring a landscape defined by its critical water infrastructure. This 2019 survey captures the topography of Hudspeth County, where the management of scarce resources is evidenced by a network of named catchment basins. Highway 62 180 serves as the primary artery across the terrain, passing near Viejo Tank and Panther Tanks. The distribution of these water features, including Beard Number Two Tank and Tony Number One Tank, reflects the ongoing importance of livestock and ranching land use in this high-desert environment. From the northern Fernando Tank to the southern Pescado Tank, the map provides a precise record of the named landmarks and elevation contours that define this sparsely populated region near the turn of the 21st century.
