About this map

Finlay Mountains dominate this arid landscape in Hudspeth County, their steep contours rising sharply above the surrounding basin floor. The terrain is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and drainage features, including the prominent Arroyo Balluco and Arroyo Diablo, which demonstrate the natural drainage patterns of the northern Trans-Pecos. Human activity in this desert environment is centered on water management for ranching or industry, evidenced by man-made reservoirs such as Oil Well Tank, Telephone Tank, and Finlay Mountain Tank. To the south, the passage of Lasca Rd follows the lower elevations near the Lasca Branch and Gardner Draw, providing the primary terrestrial connection through this remote stretch of West Texas ranch land.
