About this map

Cattleman's North Ranchos Number 3 Colonia anchor this 2010 landscape, representing a significant period of residential expansion and land development in the high desert east of El Paso. The map details an extensive and rigid grid of planned streets that contrast sharply with the natural topography of the Hueco Mountains rising in the northeast. This transitional phase of development is evident in the vast network of roads such as Horizon Blvd and Shadow Mt Lake Rd that cut across the arid terrain.

Water management and local geography are defined by isolated features like Skunk Tank, Backbone Tank, and Sand Tank, which hint at the area's pastoral past before the suburban subdivision took hold. Distinctive elevations including Backbone Hill and Horse Hill provide natural landmarks amidst the evolving residential infrastructure, offering a clear view of how modern human settlement has reshaped this corner of West Texas.
