About this map

Alamo Springs serves as a critical water point in this arid landscape of western Hudspeth County, where survival has long depended on the management of seasonal runoff. The terrain is defined by the deep carving of Alamo Canyon and the broad expanse of South Well Draw, illustrating the natural drainage patterns of the Trans-Pecos region. Cattle ranching infrastructure is the primary human imprint on this land, evidenced by a network of catchments such as Big Tub Tank, Apache Tank, and New Tank linked by isolated tracks like Mosley Rd. These features indicate a landscape that remains dedicated to large-scale ranching, where the distribution of water sources dictates the movement of both livestock and people across the high desert.
