About this map

Helm Ranch Rd and Agua Calient Lodge Rd wind through this high desert ranchland in Jeff Davis County, revealing a landscape defined by water management and intermittent drainage. The presence of numerous named water catchments, including Lucky Tank, Dinkins Tank, and String Bean Tank, underscores the critical importance of localized water storage for livestock and land use in this arid region. These man-made features sit among a complex system of natural drainages such as Bunton Draw, Jones Draw, and the extensive Boggy Draw.

The terrain transitions from open flats to the broken country of Boggy Canyon and Home Hollow, illustrating the diverse topography of the Trans-Pecos. This 2022 survey provides a clear look at how modern ranching infrastructure follows the contours of the land, with Ninemile Draw cutting through the southern portion of the quadrangle. For those researching West Texas land history, the map preserves the specific locations of these named ranching landmarks.
