2022 Map of Dellahunt Draw West

About this map

China Draw and Dellahunt Draw carve through this high-altitude landscape in Culberson County, defining a region where water management is central to the land's utility. The drainage patterns of Cottonwood Cr and Paint Horse Draw shape the northern reaches, while the local geography is marked by numerous man-made livestock watering points. These features, including Frosty Tank, Cedar Tank, and West Humphrey Tank, indicate a tradition of ranching and resource conservation in a territory where surface water is seasonal. Accessibility across these draws is primarily provided by Dellahunt Rd, which traverses the northern portion of the quadrangle. For those studying the arid-land ranching history of West Texas, the placement of these tanks and the orientation of drainages like Horse Well Draw provide insight into how the terrain has been navigated and utilized for generations.
