2013 Map of Cerro Diablo

About this map

Mayfield Ranch serves as the primary landmark in this arid stretch of Hudspeth County, situated along the namesake Mayfield Ranch Rd. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Wasson Draw, which winds through the desert floor toward the prominent rise of Cerro Diablo in the southeast. In this high-desert environment, water management is the most visible sign of human intervention. The distribution of man-made catchments like Peace Tank, Bright Tank, Tank Number One, and Tank Number Three reveals the fundamental infrastructure required for ranching in the Trans-Pecos region. These features trace a pattern of land use where life and industry are dictated by the scarce and seasonal water sources scattered across the basin.
