Norton Mesa and the nearby Roberts Mesa dominate this high-desert landscape in Hudspeth County, where water management is the primary marker of human activity. The map reveals an extensive system of earthen tanks used for livestock and ranching, reflecting the persistence of high-plains agriculture in the 21st century. Named water sources such as N Norton Tank, White Bull Tank, and Andy Grant Tank are scattered across the terrain, connected by a network of unimproved roads including Frederick Rd and Big Tank Rd.
