2019 Map of Padre Canyon

About this map

Padre Canyon cuts through the desert terrain of this West Texas landscape along the border between El Paso and Hudspeth counties. This arid region is defined by subtle drainage patterns and isolated water sources such as Owl Tanks, Deer Tank, and Quail Tank. The terrain transitions into the broader expanse of Borrego Draw to the southeast. Because of the sparse nature of these desert features, the map serves as an important record of specific water-collection points and local topography in a region where such landmarks were vital for ranching and navigation across the Chihuahuan Desert floor.
