About this map

Cerro Alto Mtn and Naville Mtn dominate this arid landscape in El Paso County, where water management is the primary marker of human activity. The terrain is defined by a network of ranching infrastructure, specifically numerous named tanks used for catchment and livestock, such as Lincoln Tank, Jim Tank, and Tank Number One. These features, along with Dugout Tank in the southwest corner, suggest a landscape adapted for cattle ranching in a desert environment.

For genealogists and local historians, the Helm Cem stands as a significant point of interest, located near the intersection of the peaks. Transport through this rugged area is facilitated by Loma Linda Rd and Hueco Ranch Rd, which navigate between the high points of Deer Mtn and Daily Hill. The map provides a clear picture of how land was utilized and named during the early 21st century in this part of West Texas.
