2012 Map of Hobo Tank

About this map

Hobo Tank serves as a central landmark in this arid stretch of Hudspeth County, where a complex network of water catchments and wells sustains the landscape. The distribution of these features, from Butterfield Tank in the north to Fernando Tank in the south, indicates a reliance on managed water sources for ranching and land use. The presence of named locations like W Lost Valley Tank and Big Canyon Tank highlights the natural drainages that define the local topography, while features such as Last Chance Tank and Freak Well Tank suggest the vital and sometimes precarious nature of water access in this high desert environment. The map details a web of secondary roads connecting these scattered tanks, including Antelope Lake Tank and Ninemile Tank, providing a clear view of the infrastructure supporting this remote part of West Texas during the early 21st century.
