About this map

Cerro Diablo stands as a prominent elevation in this arid reach of Hudspeth County, dominating a landscape shaped by intermittent watercourses and scattered ranching infrastructure. The terrain is defined by dramatic peaks such as Sierra Tinaja Pinta and Miller Mtn, where the steep contours descend into expansive drainage systems like Wasson Draw and Washburn Draw.

Evidence of historical and contemporary land use is found in the network of artificial catchments, including Tank Number One, Tank Number Three, Peace Tank, and Bright Tank, which provide essential water for livestock in this high-desert environment. Access to these remote features is primarily served by Mayfield Ranch Rd, reflecting a landscape where movement and settlement are dictated by the presence of water and the rise of the mountains.
