The San Felipe Arroyo carves through this desert landscape of eastern El Paso County, defining the drainage patterns that shaped local ranching and water management. Water security in this arid environment is evident through a series of infrastructure projects, including Cottonwood Dam, Rattlesnake Dam, and Roberts Dam. These features, along with stock tanks like Harry Tank and Rimrock Tank, illustrate the effort to capture seasonal runoff below the prominent Rimrock escarpment. To the south, the map captures the outskirts of Fabens, showing the transition from the rugged arroyo terrain to more established settlement areas. Several deep wells, such as South Well and New Well, highlight the reliance on groundwater for the scattered homesteads like Home and the industrial operations at the Gravel Pit.
