2019 Map of Cheyenne Draw

About this map

The arid Permian Basin landscape is defined by its intermittent drainage patterns and county boundaries, particularly where the Loving Co Winkler Co line bisects the western plains. This map focuses on a sparsely populated region where geography is dictated by seasonal watercourses and a minimalist network of local infrastructure. Cheyenne Draw meanders through the northern section of the map, carving a shallow path across the contours of the high desert. In the southeast, Monument Draw provides a second focal point for the natural drainage of the area. These features, along with a handful of rural routes like Co Rd 101 and Co Rd 104, illustrate the isolation and specialized land use common to the Texas-New Mexico borderlands during the early twenty-first century.
