About this map

Cox Draw and its network of ephemeral watercourses define this arid stretch of Reeves County as it appeared in the mid-2010s. The landscape is marked by a series of drainage features, including Paloma Draw Cox Draw and Carrizo Draw, which flow toward the intermittent Sandia Cr in the north. This terrain is characteristic of the Trans-Pecos region, where natural features like Gobble Hole provide rare landmarks in an otherwise open expanse.

Modern infrastructure is represented by the transit corridor of the I10 Svc Rd, which cuts across the northern portion of the map near Mission Rd. To the southwest, the Elkins Hills rise above the surrounding flats, anchoring the drainage systems of Elkins Draw and North Elkins Draw. The map illustrates the intersection of traditional West Texas ranching geography and modern interstate transportation.
