1985 Map of Cottonwood Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Cottonwood Hills dominate this portion of the high desert along the border between New Mexico and Texas. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage channels, including Hackberry Draw, Red Bluff Draw, and Hollow Draw, which carve through the arid terrain. Human presence in the mid-1980s is primarily marked by water infrastructure essential for ranching and survival in this dry environment, evidenced by labels like Ward Waterhole and specialized reservoirs such as Forehand West Tank and Apple Tank. The survey highlights the borderlands where Eddy County and Culberson County meet, showing the remote topography around Tecolote Peak and the area identified simply as Owl.
