About this map

Boracho Station and the lone Boracho Cem mark this desert landscape in Culberson County, where modern infrastructure intersects with ranching history. The terrain is defined by deep drainages and isolated high points like Black Peak, which overlooks a series of vital water catchments including Badger Tank, Coyote Tank, and Horse Camp Tank. These features represent the essential water management required for life and livestock in the Trans-Pecos region.

Ephemeral waterways such as Sacaton Cr and the evocative Hard Luck Draw carve through the land, while named corridors like X Ranch Rd and Apache Rd provide access through the complex topography. The map detail highlights the relationship between the natural canyons, such as Hunter Canyon, and the man-made routes that navigate the flats between the mountains, offering a clear view of how geography dictates movement across this portion of West Texas.
