About this map

Culberson Ranch and Reynolds Ranch anchor this landscape in the high desert of Hidalgo County, where water management is the primary architectural feature of the land. The presence of numerous named water catchments, such as Willow Tank, Tank Thirteen, and Aikers Tank, reflects the vital infrastructure required for cattle ranching in this arid New Mexico region. These tanks are often situated near the drainage systems of major geographic features like Thompson Canyon and Hoodoo Canyon.

Transportation through this territory relies on a network of named desert tracks and industrial routes, including El Paso Gas Rd and Jackson Rd. Isolated outposts like Ballard Windmill and Davis Windmill serve as critical landmarks for local navigation. The terrain is deeply incised by multiple canyons, with Apache Canyon and Wood Canyon carving through the eastern portion of the quadrangle toward the Gold Hill Canyon area.
