About this map

Maverick Draw and Derrick Draw carve through this section of Reeves County, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent water and ranching infrastructure. This 2010 survey shows a network of resource management and local industry, centered around the W T Ranch and the industrial activity at Kyle Quarry. The area’s dependence on groundwater is evident through the placement of named water sources such as Maverick Tank, Cox Tank, and specific landmarks like Incline Windmill.

Natural topography is marked by the presence of Salt Creek and the Rustler Hills, which rise above the surrounding terrain. Long-established transportation routes like FM 2119 provide the primary access through this arid environment, connecting isolated windmills and ranching outposts. This map captures a specific moment in the land-use history of West Texas, balancing ranching heritage with the geological extraction found at the local quarry site.
