2010 Map of Diablo Canyon East

About this map

Gunsight Ranch and the remote high-desert infrastructure of West Texas define this 2010 survey of the Diablo Canyon area. The landscape is characterized by a sparse network of earthen water features essential for livestock and ranching, including Old John Tank, Marr Tanks, and the namesake Flat Canyon in the southwest. A local Airstrip and Mosley Rd provide the primary connections through this arid terrain, while landmarks such as the Marr Windmill offer specific reference points for researchers interested in the legacy of land use and water management in Hudspeth County. The distribution of these water sources, from Little Yeader Tank in the north to Finlay Tank, illustrates the persistent efforts to sustain ranching operations in a region where natural standing water, like Reese Lake, is a rarity.
