2022 Map of Molesworth Mesa South

About this map

Molesworth Mesa dominates the northern reaches of this Hudspeth County landscape, providing a high vantage point over a series of ephemeral drainage systems and water collection points. In this arid region, the management of water is clearly defined by features like the Antelope Tanks, Hobo Tank, and Drag Tank, which dot the terrain to support ranching or local wildlife. The geography is carved by seasonal watercourses, including Number Nine Draw and the more extensive Antelope Draw that winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle. Human infrastructure is primarily represented by the straight path of Pipeline Rd, which cuts horizontally across the central mesa, reflecting the industrial and logistical utility of this high desert environment in the early 21st century.
