About this map

Apache Canyon and Witherspoon Draw dominate this portion of the Hudspeth County landscape, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns of the Trans-Pecos region. The distribution of water resources is the most striking human imprint on this arid terrain, characterized by numerous named catchment basins. From Schuessler Tank in the north to Railroad Tank and Gravel Pit Tank in the south, these features highlight the vital infrastructure required for ranching and transport in a desert environment. The presence of Uncle Sammy Tank, Little Parker Tank, and Gordon Tank suggests a history of localized water management tied to specific family names or landmarks. Transportation is limited to functional routes like Big Tank Rd and Applegate Rd, which provide access through the undulating topography toward more established corridors outside the quadrangle.
