2016 Map of T P Well

About this map

The arid Chihuahuan Desert landscape at the El Paso Co Hudspeth Co line is defined by a critical network of water management features and energy infrastructure. The eponymous T P Well sits in the southern portion of the sheet, part of a distribution of life-sustaining catchments and storage points including Willow Tanks, Hideaway Tank, and New Tank that support land use in this desert environment. Human activity is largely dictated by the long-distance corridor of the El Paso Jal Pipeline Rd, which cuts across the northern terrain. Natural drainage is centered on the Borrego Draw, a seasonal watercourse that feeds into Cottonwood Lake. The map reveals the stark, functional organization of the West Texas range, where the placement of every well and tank is a vital marker of survival and ranching history.
