1978 Map of Padre Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Old Padre Mine sits at the base of the high ground in this arid corner of West Texas, marking a site of historic mineral extraction in the shadow of Padre Canyon. The landscape is defined by the stark necessities of water and energy, evidenced by the series of Pipelines crossing the desert and the infrastructure at the Hueco Pumping Sta. In a region where every water source is critical, name-specific catchments like Owl Tanks, Deer Tank, and Quail Tank are carefully documented across the terrain. The map also delineates the western border of the county at the El Paso Co Hudspeth Co line, showing a remote environment shaped by topographic high points like Lone and the drainage of Borrego Draw.
