About this map

Cavett Lake and a series of specialized water management features define this arid stretch of Hudspeth County. The landscape reflects 21st-century conservation efforts, anchored by infrastructure such as the Soil Conservation Service Site 1 Reservoir and its counterpart, the Soil Conservation Service Site 3 Reservoir. These engineered water bodies, alongside smaller livestock or utility points like Phillip Tank and Caliche Tank, highlight the critical importance of water storage in this West Texas environment.

Transportation through the region is facilitated by Mcguyers Rd, which cuts across the terrain toward the drainage of Alamo Canyon. The map reveals a land utilized for large-scale resource management rather than dense settlement, where topography is managed through the strategic placement of Alamo Tank and various reservoirs to capture seasonal runoff. This survey provides a precise look at the rural infrastructure required to maintain this remote corner of the state.
