2012 Map of Devil Ridge

About this map

Old Patterson Place serves as a central point of interest in this arid Hudspeth County landscape, illustrating the enduring nature of remote West Texas ranching sites. The terrain is defined by dramatic geological features like the prominent Devil Ridge and Front Ridge, which rise above a network of canyons and mesas such as Echo Canyon and Yucca Mesa. Water management is the primary human imprint on this desert environment, evidenced by numerous tanks and windmills scattered across the quadrangle. These include the Old Dagger Tank, New Dagger Tank, Cummins Windmill, and East Windmill, which support local land use between the rocky heights of Fivemile Point and the Red Hills. The area is navigated by a handful of established routes, notably Ranch Road 1111 and Indian Hot Springs Rd, connecting these isolated outposts.
