2013 Map of McLeod Tank

About this map

The Caballo Mountains define the high ground of this territory on the border of Sierra and Doña Ana counties. In an arid landscape where water management is central to the local economy and survival, the map reveals an extensive system of catchments and troughs. These range from the centrally located McLeod Tank to specialized sites like Mine Tank and Red Hill Tank, showing how ranchers and land managers utilized the natural topography to gather seasonal runoff.
