2016 Map of Delaware Ranch

About this map

Delaware Ranch and its vital water sources anchor this remote Culberson County landscape, where the survival of ranching operations depends on a network of man-made and natural catchments. Named tanks like Scott House Tank, Butterass Tank, and Cowan Tank are scattered across the high desert terrain, serving as critical landmarks for land management and navigation. The topography is defined by deep cuts and seasonal drainages, including Maverick Canyon and the winding course of Emory Draw. Transit through this isolated region is facilitated by the unpaved stretches of Casa De Piedras Rd and Looney Spur Rd, which connect the ranch to distant regional hubs. This survey provides a precise look at the drainage patterns and elevation changes of the Trans-Pecos, highlighting the sparse but essential infrastructure that defines cattle country in West Texas.
