2019 Map of Burro Canyon

About this map

The Delaware Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Culberson County, where intricate drainage patterns have carved a complex series of canyons and points. Notable among these landforms is the distinctive Janes Window and the sharp profile of Cooky Hat Point, which rises above Little Cadorniz Canyon. The map reveals a land managed for water in an arid environment, as evidenced by several livestock water catchments including Nester Tank, Twin Tanks, and Boulder Tank. Modern transit through this difficult terrain is limited to unpaved ranching routes like Stone Rd and Roberto Rd, which navigate the contours between steep features like No Mans Canyon and Burro Canyon. This survey provides a precise look at the topographical relationship between these water features and the complex network of draws and ridges that define the Pecos region's western edge.
