About this map

The Finlay Mountains dominate this arid section of Hudspeth County, where complex contours reveal a landscape defined by seasonal water flow and ranching infrastructure. Arroyos and draws, including Arroyo Diablo and Gardner Draw, carve paths through the elevated terrain, while scattered water features like Telephone Tank and Finlay Mountain Tank indicate the vital necessity of water management in this high-desert environment.

South of the peaks, the settlement of Small is situated along Lasca Rd, which parallels a local rail line. The presence of features like Oil Well Tank points to historical or active resource extraction amidst the drainage networks of Arroyo Balluco and Lasca Branch. This 2019 survey documents a sparsely populated region where topographic relief and water catchments dictate the patterns of human presence and movement.
