About this map

The West Nueces River carves through the northern reaches of this Kinney County landscape, where the seasonal drainage of Leona Draw meets the river's path. This territory is defined by its expansive natural basins and drainage systems, most notably Grass Valley, which sits centrally among the surrounding high ground. The map details a remote Texas environment where transportation is limited to established routes like Rm 334 and Fm 3199, alongside the namesake Tularosa Rd.

Regional aviation is represented by two private landing strips, the L Davis Ranch Airport and the Tularosa Airport, signaling the large-scale ranching operations typical of this part of West Texas. A network of ephemeral creeks, including E Pinto Cr, Elm Cr, and Lindsey Cr, illustrates the complex watershed that feeds into the Nueces basin. The absence of concentrated settlements highlights the area's character as open rangeland and provides a clear view of the topographical contours that dictate the local geography.
