About this map

The Hueco Mountains rise along the northeastern edge of this mid-1950s survey, marking a rugged transition in the El Paso County landscape. Below the peaks, the terrain is defined by isolated elevations such as Backbone Hill and Horse Hill, while human activity is centered on essential water infrastructure. This arid environment required a network of strategic catchment points, visible here as a series of named tanks including Skunk Tank, Lake Tank, and Dugout Tank. Linear utilities cut across the open space, notably the Pipeline Aqueduct and Aqueduct Pipeline, illustrating the critical movement of resources across the desert. Notable landmarks like Gentleman Well and Red Well provide specific points of interest for those tracing land use and grazing patterns in this sparsely settled region during the mid-20th century.
