The international border between the United States and Mexico winds along the Rio Grande in this desert stretch of Hudspeth County. The landscape is defined by the elevation changes of the Quitman Mountains and the drainage patterns of significant draws like Black Canyon and Big Tank Canyon. Man-made water sources, essential for ranching in this arid environment, appear as Cowan Tank and Neely Tank.
