Salt Flat sits in the high desert of Hudspeth County, where the stark topography of the Trans-Pecos meets a network of essential water resources. This 2019 survey captures the arid landscape north of the Sierra Diablo, dominated by significant elevations such as Flattop Mtn and Jim Hill. The presence of several catchment points, including Rock Tank, Cavender Tank, and Flattop Tank, indicates the historical and ongoing importance of water management in this sparsely populated region of West Texas.
