2016 Map of Padre Canyon

About this map

Padre Canyon defines the central landscape of this West Texas terrain, where the arid environment is punctuated by essential water catchments such as Owl Tanks, Deer Tank, and Quail Tank. The map documents the high desert topography of El Paso County at the El Paso Co Hudspeth Co boundary line, illustrating a network of drainage patterns and dry washes. The inclusion of Borrego Draw at the southern edge highlights the natural alluvial features typical of this region. This survey provides a clear look at land management and water resource placement in a sparsely populated section of the state during the early 21st century, focusing on the essential hydrology of the desert floor.
