About this map

Aguacaliente Lodge serves as the primary landmark in this arid Trans-Pecos landscape, situated near the intersection of the Agua Caliente Lodge Rd and several winding desert tracks. The terrain is defined by the prominent Y-6 Hills and the winding course of Dowman Canyon, which cuts through the high desert floor toward the eastern edge of the quadrangle.

Water management is central to the survival of this region, as evidenced by a network of catchments and pumps named for local families and topographical features. Researchers can trace the importance of these sites through labels like Dagger Tank, New Chalk Hill Tank, and Ocotillo Tank. The agricultural and ranching footprint is further anchored by named infrastructure such as Dowman Windmill, Sauerkraut Windmill, and Caliche Windmill, while Tally Slough indicates the seasonal drainage patterns that shape this Jeff Davis County environment.
