2016 Map of Chico Draw West

About this map

Chico Draw and its surrounding canyons define this arid landscape in Culberson County, where the management of water is the primary human footprint. A complex network of catchment features, including Goodfellow Tanks, Seep Spring Tank, and the uniquely named Double Spillway Tank, indicates the vital infrastructure required for ranching in this high-desert environment. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as North Rock Draw and Rock House Draw, which cut toward the lower elevations of No Mans Canyon. Access throughout this remote territory is limited, primarily facilitated by the solitary Stone Rd winding through the south. The topographic detail reveals a landscape of high ridges like N Mtn and deep passages like Leed Canyon, where historical land use is marked by small-scale modifications of the natural hydrology.
