2012 Map of Sneed Mountain

About this map

Water management dominates the arid landscape of Hudspeth County, visible through a dense network of man-made tanks used for livestock and ranching. The presence of Preston Tank, Owen Tank, and Three Section Tank illustrates the vital infrastructure required to sustain agriculture in this high-desert environment. These features are clustered around established family holdings such as Reed Ranch and the G McAdoo Ranch. Terrain features like the Black Knobs and the namesake Sneed Mtn provide essential landmarks for navigation across the basin. Local transit depends on a sparse road network including Macado Rd and Garren Rd, which connect the isolated ranching operations to the broader region through the natural corridors of Collier Draw and Cave Draw.
