2022 Map of Devil Ridge

About this map

Devil Ridge dominates this arid landscape in Hudspeth County, serving as the central topographical spine between Red Light Draw and Blanca Draw. This modern survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a region defined by high-altitude features like Yucca Mesa and Echo Canyon, where water management is critical for land use. The map tracks numerous livestock tanks or water catchments, including Fivemile Tank, Mac Tank, and the paired New Dagger Tank and Old Dagger Tank, which are vital nodes in this desert environment. Human presence is marked by primitive roads such as Indian Hot Springs Rd and Ranch Rd 1111, which navigate the slopes of Front Ridge and connect the scattered Red Hills to the surrounding Texas rangeland.
