About this map

Windmills and water tanks define the livestock and resource infrastructure of this West Texas landscape in the Culberson County backcountry. Named wells such as Oil Well Windmill and Digger Windmill are vital landmarks in an arid expanse where water management is paramount for survival. The terrain is carved by seasonal drainage systems, most notably Dellahunt Draw, which gives its name to the local road network including Dellahunt Rd.

Strategic water catchments like Frosty Tank and West Humphrey Tank appear alongside other drainage features such as Paint Horse Draw and China Draw. The map illustrates a ranching-focused economy where named improvements are the primary signifiers of human activity. This 2010 survey provides a look at the enduring reliance on traditional wind-powered water extraction methods across the high desert plains.
