2022 Map of Buckhorn Draw West

About this map

Buck Horn Draw serves as the primary drainage through this arid landscape of Hudspeth County, winding through a complex network of topographical ridges. The map reveals an intensive system of water management essential for ranching or land use in this desert environment, marked by numerous named catchments. Notable water features include Panther Tanks and Fernando Tank in the north, while Colorado Tank and Pescado Tank define the southern reaches. The naming conventions, including Beard Number Two Tank and Tony Number One Tank, suggest a legacy of specific land ownership or historical ranching divisions. This terrain is characterized by its high-elevation contouring and the strategic placement of these artificial or improved water sources alongside the natural path of the draw.
