2013 Map of Whiterock Hills

About this map

The Whiterock Hills define the western landscape of this Hudspeth County quadrangle, where the arid terrain is punctuated by a network of essential water catchment sites. In this corner of West Texas, the presence of these earthen tanks illustrates the fundamental reliance on managed water sources for ranching and livestock. Key drainage points are marked by features such as Whiterock Tank, Silva Tank, and Cunningham Tank, which serve as vital infrastructure for the surrounding territory. The map reveals a sparse network of local roads and 4WD tracks that navigate the dry washes and hills, connecting remote locations like Little Borrego Tank and Red Rock Tank. This record of the early 21st-century landscape highlights the persistent character of the Trans-Pecos region, where man-made improvements like Level Tank and Little Cunningham Tank are the primary landmarks across the desert floor.
