2022 Map of Hueco Station

About this map

Red Hills rises above a desert landscape defined by essential water catchment and drainage systems in this modern survey of west Texas. The terrain is marked by a network of seasonal washes and livestock tanks, including the descriptively named Pretty Soon Tank, Cascajo Tank, and Holly Tank. These features suggest a continued reliance on water management in an arid environment where natural drainage like Antelope Draw and Eightmile Draw dictates the movement of cattle and the layout of local transit. The map records a sparse infrastructure where historical tracks like Scratch Rd and ranching routes intersect with newer thoroughfares such as Hector Aguilar Rd. The presence of numerous named catchments like Twenty Tank reflects the local importance of specific water points for land use and navigation in this corner of the state.
