2012 Map of Diablo Canyon East

About this map

Gunsight Ranch stands as a primary point of human activity in this arid landscape within the Chihuahuan Desert. The mapping reveals a complex network of water management features essential for survival and ranching in West Texas, characterized by numerous named catchment points such as Little Yeader Tank, Big Yeader Tank, and the Marr Tanks. These features, alongside the Marr Windmill, indicate a landscape defined by its limited water resources and the infrastructure built to harness them. Transportation is sparse, anchored by Mosley Rd and a series of unimproved trails that connect the remote ranch sites across the Hudspeth County terrain. The presence of named landmarks like Old John Tank and Finlay Tank suggests a long history of local identification and land use in this expansive desert environment.
