The Animas Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Hidalgo County, where water is the primary architect of human settlement. Named locations like Yarbrough Place, Upshaw Place, and Henrys Cabin are scattered across the terrain, often positioned near vital water sources such as Gillespie Tank or Pigpen Tank. The distribution of these ranching outposts and named flats, including Maverick Flat, reflects a sparse but organized system of land use dependent on seasonal drainages like Bull Creek and Gillespie Creek.
