About this map

Pezuna del Caballo serves as a focal point in this high-desert region of West Texas, where the landscape is defined by a complex network of arroyos and distinct overlooks. The terrain is deeply incised by Burro Canyon and No Mans Canyon, creating a topography that historically challenged travelers and ranchers. Human activity is marked by remote outposts like Roberts Camp and Janes Window, while the presence of Boulder Tank, Middle Tank, and Nester Tank highlights the critical importance of water management in this arid environment.

Transportation through this portion of Culberson County is limited to a few arterial tracks, primarily Stone Rd and Roberto Rd, which follow the natural contours between landmarks like Cooky Hat Point. This map captures a moment in the modern era where the ranching infrastructure—evident in the distribution of tanks and named camps—remains the primary footprint on a landscape that has otherwise changed little over decades.
