Water resources dictate the survival of livestock and travelers in this high-plains landscape where the boundaries of Torrance, Guadalupe, and Lincoln counties meet. Named catchment features like Sotol Tank and Casino Tank are critical markers in an arid environment otherwise dominated by township and range divisions. Higher elevations provide catchments for ephemeral bodies such as Telephone Lake and Jojonera Lake, which appear as rare breaks in the topographic contours. This survey captures the region as it existed in 2020, illustrating the intersection of modern county lines and the enduring importance of traditional water-harvesting sites.
