2022 Map of Wildhorse Draw

About this map

Wildhorse Draw and Borrego Draw define the drainage patterns of this arid Hudspeth County landscape. This 2022 survey illustrates the vital importance of water management in West Texas, evidenced by a dense network of man-made catchment features including Monroe Tank, Antelope Tank, and Shakespeare Tanks. These features are often the only reliable water sources for local livestock and wildlife in the high desert terrain. The topography is further shaped by Peacock Canyon in the southeast, while family-named or descriptive landmarks like Peacock Tank and Old Rattlesnake Tank provide essential navigational points for researchers of local land use and ranching history.
