2010 Map of Center Peak

About this map

The Animas Mountains of Hidalgo County define this high-desert landscape, where ranching and mineral exploration shaped the remote terrain. This 2010 survey details a network of family-named ranch sites and seasonal water management, featuring O K Bar Ranch, Lawhorns Ranch, and Tullous Upper Ranch. The presence of the Athena Mine and Athena Prospect Number 2 in the northern reaches points to the region's mining interests, while scattered sites like Henrys Cabin offer clues for local genealogists. Named topographic landmarks such as Center Peak, Elephant Butte, and 7K Peak serve as primary anchors. The drainage system is heavily articulated through features like Double Adobe Creek and the Middle Fork Brushy Creek, supported by a series of essential livestock reservoirs including Gibson Tank and Frankie Tank.
