About this map

Water management dominates this arid landscape of Hudspeth County, where a network of cattle tanks like Phone Line Tank and Reddy Tank defines the land use outside of developed pockets. The residential grid of the Loma Linda Estates area is evident along the northern reach of Republic Blvd, featuring a mix of named thoroughfares including Fiesta Dr and Hong Kong St. These street names contrast sharply with the traditional ranching infrastructure that surrounds the settlement.

The eastern edge of the map shows Dagger Camp, while the broader terrain is marked by essential water sources such as Sheep Tank, Buck Tank, and Cactus Tank. Transportation into the deeper ranch lands is facilitated by routes like Hueco Ranch Rd, which provides a corridor through the desert flats. This 2010 survey illustrates the intersection of modern rural residential planning and the long-standing ranching traditions of the West Texas desert.
