2019 Map of Phone Line Canyon

About this map

The Hueco Mountains define the western edge of this desert landscape, where the border of El Paso and Hudspeth counties meets. This modern survey illustrates the development of the Loma Linda area, characterized by a grid of residential streets such as Loma Linda Blvd, Leslie Harmon St, and Ave Del Sol pushing into the arid terrain. The mapping reveals a distinct contrast between this emerging neighborhood and the surrounding ranching infrastructure, identified by numerous named water catchments like Sheep Tank, Cactus Tank, and Monument Tank. Local topography is marked by several significant drainages, including Pow Wow Canyon, Phone Line Canyon, and the winding Fourmile Draw, which historically guided travel and dictated the placement of early ranch roads like Hueco Ranch Rd.
