2013 Map of Dome Peak

About this map

Dome Peak and the Streeruwitz Hills dominate this high-desert landscape in Hudspeth County, where water management is the primary marker of human activity. The map reveals a network of vital water catchments and tanks essential for livestock and settlement in this arid environment, including Jenkins Tank, Williams Tank, and Railroad Tank. These features, along with England Pond and S Pond, indicate a landscape primarily used for ranching and transit. The Wilkin Ranch serves as a lone named settlement point, situated among a web of desert roads like Frontage Rd and Stone Rd. This 2013 survey illustrates the enduring nature of the Trans-Pecos ranching tradition, where life is organized around the geography of scarce water sources and large-scale landholdings.
