About this map

Boracho Peak dominates the high ground along the shared boundary of Culberson and Jeff Davis counties, anchoring a network of ephemeral drainages and named summits. This arid landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, where features like Flat Mesa and Bronc Mule Hill rise above the surrounding flats. The drainages, including Indian Waterhole Draw and China Draw, speak to the critical role of water in this desert environment, marking the natural paths through the high country.

Modern transportation is limited to a few arterial routes such as Moon Rd and Taylor Rd, which skirt the edges of deeper incisions like Deadman Canyon and Panther Canyon. The naming of landmarks such as Red Hill and Boggy Canyon suggests a long history of navigation and stock-raising in a region where every distinctive topographic rise or seasonal waterway served as a vital reference point for ranchers and travelers alike.
