2020 Map of Davies Tank

About this map

The Organ Mountains dominate the western horizon of this White Sands landscape, where the high desert terrain transitions into a complex system of drainages and canyons. The topographical relief is marked by significant erosion patterns, with named features such as Ash Canyon, Johnson Canyon, and Glendale Canyon carving through the mountain slopes toward the flatter plains to the east. Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by historical catchments and natural sources, including Davies Tank and Goodin Tank, alongside high-elevation outlets like Texas Canyon Spring and Globe Spring.
