2016 Map of Boracho

About this map

Boracho and the surrounding high desert of Culberson County are defined by a network of drainage draws and isolated peaks that dictate the movement of both water and travelers. The landscape is dominated by the prominent Black Peak and the deep cuts of Hunter Canyon and Hard Luck Draw. Ranching infrastructure is central to this arid environment, with numerous water catchments like Tepee Tank, Coyote Tank, and Badger Tank scattered across the terrain to sustain livestock. Modern transportation corridors follow the path of the Boracho Station road and the Interstate, while older routes such as Apache Rd and X Ranch Rd provide access to the hinterlands. The geography reveals a carefully managed range where features like Indian Waterhole Draw hint at the long history of human reliance on these intermittent water sources.
