2019 Map of Sneed Mountain

About this map

Sneed Mtn stands as a prominent landmark in this corner of Hudspeth County, where the high desert terrain is defined by complex contouring and seasonal water management. The landscape relies on an extensive network of water catchments, including Owen Tank, Dagger Tank, and South Beeman Tank, which are essential for supporting life and ranching in this arid environment. These features are connected by rudimentary transportation routes like Garren Rd and Macado Rd, which navigate the elevation changes between the plains and the uplifted regions of the Black Knobs. Notable drainage patterns are visible through Collier Draw and Cave Draw, illustrating the natural path of runoff through the desert. This 2019 survey documents a sparsely settled region where human presence is primarily marked by these critical water infrastructure points and remote roadway networks.
