2012 Map of Chico Draw West

About this map

Chico Ranch anchors this arid portion of Culberson County, where the landscape is defined by an extensive network of water management features essential for ranching. The terrain is marked by numerous draws and canyons, including Seep Spring Draw, Leed Canyon, and Rock House Draw, which provide natural drainage through the high desert. To support livestock in this environment, the map reveals a high concentration of named tanks such as Goodfellow Tanks, Deadhorse Tank, and Paula Tank. Significant elevations like N Mtn overlook the winding paths of Madera Rd and Stone Rd, reflecting the sparse but functional infrastructure of the Trans-Pecos region. This 2012 survey provides a clear view of how topographic features and man-made water catchments like Double Spillway Tank dictate the utility of this remote Texas land.
