About this map

Boracho serves as a central point in this arid Culberson County landscape, where the infrastructure of ranching and transport defines the terrain. The presence of named water sources like Hackberry Tank, Coyote Tank, and Tepee Tank highlights the critical necessity of water management for livestock in West Texas. Movement through the area is dictated by routes such as Boracho Station, X Ranch Rd, and the throughway of Luck Draw.

Landmarks like Black Peak provide vertical relief against the system of draws and canyons, including Sacaton Draw and Hunter Canyon. Windmills such as the Deep Well Windmill and Stewart Windmill are vital markers of settlement and survival, while the Horse Camp Tank Dam in the southeast corner indicates more significant water engineering. This survey documents the intersection of modern interstate travel and traditional ranching operations at the start of the 21st century.
