2013 Map of Anderson Ranch

About this map

The Pecos River snakes across this West Texas landscape, defining the northern and eastern reaches of a region primarily shaped by ranching and resource extraction. The namesake Anderson Ranch sits central to a network of county roads like Co RD-428, while the small settlement of Arno is situated in the southeastern corner near the river's bend. This 2013 survey illustrates how water and oil dictate the footprint of human activity in Reeves County, with the Dixieland Oil Field marking the western portion of the map. Drainage patterns are etched into the terrain by named features such as John D Draw, Smith Draw, and Horsehead Draw, which channel seasonal runoff toward the river. Infrastructural landmarks like Smith Tank provide essential water points in an area where the transition between arid rangeland and the riparian corridor of the Pecos is most pronounced.
