2019 Map of Delaware Ranch

About this map

The Delaware Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Culberson County, where a network of seasonal water sources and canyons defines the region's ranching infrastructure. Managed water features such as Scott House Tank, Cowan Tank, and the naturally occurring Rock Water Hole illustrate the critical importance of moisture management in this arid West Texas environment. Transportation through the complex topography is facilitated by the Casa De Piedras Rd and Looney Spur Rd, which snake between high ridges and deep drainages like Maverick Canyon and Ed Ray Canyon. This 2019 survey provides a contemporary view of the land as it appeared in the late 2010s, showing how legacy ranching place-names like Emory Draw and Paint Horse Draw persist even as modern mapping standards are applied.
