The Peloncillo Mountains dominate this arid landscape in Hidalgo County, rising sharply between the Animas and San Simon valleys. At the heart of the terrain, Tank Mountain and its smaller neighbor Little Tank Mountain provide a rugged backdrop to a network of drainage systems, including the complex forks of Big Creek and South Fork Big Creek. This 2023 survey illustrates how water management and topography dictate the human presence here, with features like X T Tank serving as vital infrastructure for local ranching operations.
