2022 Map of Bean Hills

About this map

Bean Hills and the surrounding high desert of Hudspeth County define this arid landscape, where survival and movement are dictated by topography. The map reveals a network of intermittent water sources vital for ranching, including South Tank and Skinner Tank. These man-made improvements suggest a long history of cattle grazing in a region where natural springs are rare. The terrain is marked by significant drainage patterns like Seventeen Draw and Camel Draw, which cut through the dry flats between prominent rises. Notable elevations such as Goat Mtn and the Millican Hills provide orientation across the expanse. Local transit is limited to unpaved routes like Eagle Flat Rd and Garren Rd, tracing the paths used by landholders and surveyors in this isolated corner of West Texas.
