About this map

Hueco Station sits as a central point of reference in this arid landscape of Hudspeth County, where the infrastructure of water management is essential to the local environment. The terrain is defined by a series of named water-collection points, including Holly Tank, Pretty Soon Tank, Cascajo Tank, and Twenty Tank, which punctuate a network of ephemeral drainages like Antelope Draw and Eightmile Draw. These features suggest a history of ranching or livestock management where every seasonal catchment is a vital landmark.

The topography is anchored by the Red Hills in the southeast, providing a distinct rise in elevation over the surrounding flats. Human transit through this portion of West Texas is facilitated by FM 1111 and the high-speed corridor of 62 180, which skirts the northern boundary along with Hector Aguilar Rd. The presence of long-established tracks like Scratch Rd and the descent of Antelope Gulch reveal the natural and engineered paths through this expansive desert territory.
