2016 Map of Burnt Spring Hills SE

About this map

The Culberson Co Reeves Co boundary line bisects this arid West Texas landscape, a region defined by its vital water management infrastructure for ranching and livestock. Scattered across the terrain are numerous artificial catchments such as White Side Tank, North Rock Tank, and Bull Tank, which serve as the primary landmarks in an area otherwise characterized by ephemeral watercourses. Natural drainage patterns are recorded through seasonal features like Hart Draw and Herds Pass Draw, which navigate the subtle elevation changes of the Burnt Spring Hills. Transportation in the mid-2010s was facilitated by a network of rural routes including Toyah Rd and Co Rd 225, providing access to this remote portion of the Trans-Pecos. The map highlights the intersection of physical geography and man-made modifications in a desert environment where every named tank, like Frijol Tank, signifies a specific point of human activity and survival.
