2019 Map of Boracho

About this map

Boracho Station serves as a primary reference point in this arid Culberson County landscape, where the survival of ranching operations depends on a network of named water catchments. These essential features, including Horse Camp Tank, Tepee Tank, and Coyote Tank, are scattered across the high desert floor to support livestock. The topography is defined by significant drainage systems such as Hard Luck Draw and Indian Waterhole Draw, which lead toward the prominent elevation of Black Peak. This map illustrates the intersection of modern transit and traditional land use, as Interstate 10 cuts through a region still navigated by local routes like Apache Rd and X Ranch Rd. The presence of features like In and Out Tank suggests the practical, everyday challenges of managing water in this Trans-Pecos environment.
