2010 Map of Mack Tanks
USGS Topo · Published 2010About this map
Mack Tanks anchors this arid Otero County landscape, serving as a vital water catchment point in a region defined by ephemeral drainage patterns. This 2010 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details the rugged topography where natural and man-made basins like Little Mack Tank and Middle Tank collect runoff for livestock or local use. The map illustrates how human activity in this corner of New Mexico adapts to the relief of Martin Canyon and the north-south axis of Hay Meadow Canyon. These features, along with Little Crockett Tank and Mack Draw, reveal the essential role of water management in sustaining ranching or travel through the high desert, providing a precise record of the terrain's few dependable landmarks.
