2012 Map of Boracho Peak

About this map

Boracho Peak rises above an arid landscape of high-desert drainage systems and named plateaus in Culberson County. The area's hydrology is defined by episodic watercourses such as Indian Waterhole Draw, Wreck Draw, and Joes Spring Draw, which feed into complex canyon networks including Deadman Canyon and Panther Canyon. Evidence of cattle ranching and land management is found at Boracho Windmill and the Rough Trap enclosure, showing how this high-elevation terrain was utilized for livestock. To the south, the topography transitions into distinct volcanic and sedimentary landforms like Flat Mesa, Gap Mtn, and Bronc Mule Hill. A small network of secondary roads, including Plateau Valentine Rd and Taylor Rd, provides the only access through this isolated portion of the Trans-Pecos region.
