2016 Map of Phone Line Canyon

About this map

The Hueco Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in west Texas, where the terrain is carved by deep incisions like Pow Wow Canyon and Phone Line Canyon. The arid environment is defined by its water management, seen in the series of livestock tanks scattered across the flats, including Sheep Tank, Cactus Tank, and Monument Tank. Residential development is concentrated in the northwestern corner, where a grid of streets such as France Silva Ave and Loma Linda Blvd extends toward the foothills. This 2016 survey illustrates the transition from organized rural residential blocks to the open cattle ranching territory signaled by Hueco Ranch Rd. The county line between El Paso Co and Hudspeth Co runs along the western edge, marking a jurisdictional boundary in this remote canyon country.
