2022 Map of East Hunter Canyon

About this map

The Apache Mountains dominate this West Texas landscape, where the elevation changes and drainage patterns define the territory. Arid canyons like Deadman Canyon, Hunter Canyon, and East Hunter Canyon cut through the high ground, while the lower elevations are marked by a network of ephemeral water sources critical for ranching and survival. The presence of named water catchments such as Buckhorn Tank, Buchanan Tank, and Powder Bluff Tank illustrates the historical and contemporary reliance on seasonal moisture in Culberson County. Human activity is sparse but specific, centered around the Seven Heart Ps and the lone passage of Jones-Kent Rd. The topography is further shaped by the winding paths of Sacaton Draw and Clayton Draw, providing a detailed look at the drainage systems that feed into Sacaton Cr.
