2019 Map of Cerro Diablo

About this map

Cerro Diablo rises as a prominent landmark in this desert landscape, surrounded by the high-relief peaks of Sierra Tinaja Pinta and Miller Mtn. The terrain is defined by a system of ephemeral water management and drainage, where the arid environment necessitated the construction of various catchments like Peace Tank, Bright Tank, and several numbered reservoirs including Tank Number One. These features reflect the long-standing ranching practices required to sustain livestock in the Chihuahuan Desert. Movement through this corner of Hudspeth County is primarily facilitated by Mayfield Ranch Rd, which winds through the valleys between the mountains. The map also delineates the natural drainage patterns of the region, specifically Wasson Draw and Washburn Draw, illustrating how seasonal water flows have carved the landscape over time.
