2010 Map of Alligator Draw

About this map

Delaware River Ranch sits at the center of this arid landscape in Culberson County, where human presence is defined by the vital necessity of water management. The terrain is marked by the distinctive Yeso Hills to the northwest and the winding course of Alligator Draw, which cuts across the territory toward the Delaware River in the southeast. This 2010 survey illustrates a sparsely settled ranching region where remote infrastructure is named for its specific function or location, including Down-in-the-Hole Windmill, Fence Line Windmill, and East Windmill. Transportation is limited to a few key arteries such as FM 652 and the functional Pipeline Rd, while the natural topography of Rector Canyon provides a stark contrast to the surveyed road grid.
