About this map

The Pecos River snakes across the northern border of this West Texas landscape, marking the boundary between Loving and Reeves counties. This arid region is defined by a network of drainage channels that carry water during infrequent desert rains, including the prominent Horsehead Draw, Smith Draw, and John D Draw. The settlement of Arno sits near the eastern edge of the quadrangle, serving as a rare point of reference in an area otherwise characterized by vast stretches of rangeland and oilfield access roads like Co Rd 431. Human presence is further evidenced by functional landmarks such as Smith Tank, which provide essential water resources for local livestock and industry in this remote corner of the Permian Basin.
