About this map

Indian Cliffs Ranch Main Lake and a series of water tanks define this arid stretch of the Chihuahuan Desert east of El Paso. The landscape is marked by the distinct Rimrock escarpment, where drainage systems like San Felipe Arroyo cut through the terrain. Seasonal water features, including Rattlesnake Lake, Cottonwood Lake, and Fabens Lake, illustrate the vital importance of catchment and storage in this ranching environment. Movement through this sparse area is traced by desert tracks such as Iron Horse Trl and Indian Trl, alongside established routes like Hacienda Rd and Las Colonias Rd. These labels reflect a land-use pattern centered on large-scale ranching and livestock management, with named tanks like Harry Tank and Roberts Tank serving as essential landmarks for navigation and survival in the dry Texas borderlands.
