2013 Map of Delaware Ranch

About this map

Scott House Tank and a network of isolated water catchments define this arid landscape in Culberson County during the early 21st century. The terrain is largely dominated by ephemeral drainage patterns, where essential water sources for ranching are found at named locations like Cowan Tank, Saint John Tank, and Goat Tank. Transportation through this remote section of West Texas relies on unpaved routes, including Looney Spur Rd and Casa De Piedras Rd, which connect the scattered infrastructure. These features represent the continuing reliance on traditional water management in the Trans-Pecos region. Other landmarks such as Rock Water Hole, Butterass Tank, and Segunda Tank highlight the importance of specific collection points for livestock and land management in a high-desert environment.
