2022 Map of Dowman Canyon

About this map

Lobo Valley dominates the western portion of this Jeff Davis County landscape, where the flat basin floor meets the rising elevations of the Y-Six Hills. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage features and water catchments essential for ranching in this arid environment, including Dagger Tank and the neighboring Old Chalk Hill Tank and New Chalk Hill Tank. In the southeastern corner, the rugged topography of Dowman Canyon provides a sharp contrast to the valley floor. The path of Tally Slough meanders across the lower elevations, while N Main St serves as a primary transit corridor through the southern reaches. This modern survey reflects the enduring spatial organization of West Texas ranch lands, where named tanks and natural landforms remain the primary landmarks for navigation and land management.
