About this map

Antelope Flat and the surrounding high desert of West Texas are defined by a network of ephemeral watercourses and vital ranching infrastructure. This landscape in Reeves County is marked by a series of draws and canyons, including Rattlesnake Draw, Prizer Draw, and the prominent Madera Canyon. The survival of local livestock operations is evidenced by the presence of isolated water sources such as Pole Pen Windmill, Wildcat Windmill, and Eagle Tank, which are critical points in an otherwise arid expanse.

Elevations vary across the terrain from the Red Hills to distinct summits like Kaiser Peak and Mount Annie. Access to this remote area is primarily through rural routes like FM 3078 and unpaved ranch roads such as K C Ranch Rd. The map illustrates a typical Chihuahuan Desert drainage pattern, where water from Cherry Creek and Canyon Creek flows toward the broad, flat basins of the Augustine Flat and Cole Hills.
