2020 Map of Fitzpatricks

About this map

Animas Mountains and the northern reaches of the San Luis Mountains dominate this high-desert terrain in southern Hidalgo County. The landscape is defined by its water management infrastructure, where isolated features such as Cornelius Tank, Rattlesnake Tank, and San Luis Pass Tank serve as critical landmarks for ranching operations in a semi-arid environment. The presence of the Gray Ranch Airport near the northern boundary reflects the modern logistical needs of this vast open range. Surface transportation is concentrated in the western half of the map, anchored by the namesake settlement of Fitzpatricks and connected by Fitzpatrick Camp Rd and Diamond A Dr. The natural corridor of San Luis Pass provides a transition between the mountain ranges, highlighting the historical importance of these gaps for regional movement.
