About this map

Ebers Camp and a network of remote ranching outposts define this high-desert landscape in West Texas. The region is marked by an extensive system of water management features, critical for livestock in a territory where dry drainage channels like Monument Draw and Carlos Draw dominate the topography. Named windmill sites such as Crawford Windmills and the White Windmills indicate the scattered pockets of human activity required to maintain cattle and sheep operations across these arid stretches.

Surface water is largely confined to man-made catchment basins including Javalina Tank and Carlos Tank, often found near deep incisions in the earth like Fife Canyon. The survey illustrates how late 20th-century infrastructure adapted to the natural contours of the Boat Hills, where navigation relies on following established draws and canyons. This map offers a clear view of the ranching footprint, connecting historical camp names like North Camp to the literal lifeblood of the area—its wind-powered wells and water tanks.
