2020 Map of Mountain Tank

About this map

The Hueco Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape along the border of New Mexico and Texas. This area in Otero and Hudspeth Counties is defined by its arid topography, where water management is central to the history of the land. Essential livestock or travelers' resources like Grey Tank, Red House Tanks, and Wallbridge Tank are scattered across the terrain, illustrating the infrastructure required for life and ranching in this dry corridor. Lowland features such as Castner Draw slice through the desert floor, while the elevation rises sharply toward Red Hill. The presence of established routes like Co RD f001 and F-003 trace the limited path of transit across this borderland, connecting remote grazing lands and mountain passes during a period of modern surveying.
