About this map

The Monument stands as a prominent topographical landmark in this high-altitude section of the Trans-Pecos, situated where the borders of Reeves and Pecos counties meet. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainage systems, including the expansive Barrilla Draw and Lawrence Draw, which carve deep contours through the arid terrain. These features demonstrate the natural water flow patterns essential for livestock ranching in this part of West Texas.

Transportation through this sparsely populated region is limited to remote corridors like Hovey Rd and the Ranch Access Rd. While the land appears largely untouched, these routes and the naming of features like Hackberry Draw and Addison Draw reflect a long history of land use and cattle ranching. At the southern edge, Limpia Creek provides a lower-elevation drainage point for the surrounding highlands.
