2013 Map of Mountain Tank

About this map

The Hueco Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape along the border of Otero and Hudspeth counties. This arid region is defined by its water management infrastructure, where scattered man-made catchments like Mountain Tank and Walbridge Tank provide essential water sources for livestock and local wildlife. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, with Red Hill standing out against the drainage patterns of Castner Draw. The presence of Big Cement Tank and Little Cement Tank suggests a reliance on more permanent water storage solutions in a territory where traditional springs are sparse. Modern transit into this rugged interior is maintained via Co Road F001 and Co Road F002, providing access to the southern reaches near the New Mexico-Texas state line.
