2020 Map of Hospah

About this map

Hospah serves as the primary focal point of this McKinley County landscape, where the high desert terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainage channels and cattle-watering features. The land is marked by significant topographical landmarks such as Lone Pine Tree Hill and Gumbo Point, which overlook the winding Sand Springs Arroyo and its various tributaries. For local historians, the map documents a system of ranching infrastructure, including Escondido Tank, Blanton Tank, and Floyd Lee Tank, essential for managing livestock in this arid environment. The road network, including the Sand Springs Loop Rd and Co Rd 19, connects isolated points like Pretty Rock and Bobcat Pass, illustrating how geography dictates the travel patterns through these high plains and arroyos.
