About this map

Carne Seca Windmill and Cox Windmill stand as critical water infrastructure in this arid stretch of Reeves County, where the landscape is defined by a network of seasonal drainage channels. The terrain is dominated by the Elkins Hills to the west and the distinctive namesake Cox Draw which cuts through the central corridor. Interstate 10 bisects the northern section of the quadrangle, running parallel to Sandia Creek and providing a modern transit corridor through this ranching-oriented geography.

The hydrology of the area is characterized by multiple ephemeral waterways, including North Elkins Draw, Carrizo Draw, and Conger Draw, which converge and diverge across the plains. A notable localized water feature, Gobble Hole, appears near the western edge, while smaller landmarks like Sheep Shearny Windmill and Paloma Draw mark the sparse but vital human and natural developments in this Trans-Pecos region.
