The Boat Hills and a network of livestock infrastructure define this high-desert ranching landscape in Pecos County. While human settlements are restricted to small outposts like North Camp and Ebers Camp, the terrain is heavily marked by the essential search for water. Numerous family-named windmills and tanks, such as Cox Windmill and Javalina Tank, dot the drainage basins of Fortyone Draw and Fife Canyon. This map provides a detailed view of a contemporary working ranch landscape, where the placement of Burnen Tower Windmill and Rebecca Tank reveals how topography and seasonal water flow dictate land use in the Trans-Pecos. The network of unimproved roads and 4WD tracks connects isolated landmarks like Cinco de Mayo Windmill and the White Windmills, tracing the movement of ranching operations through the rugged draws and canyon floors.
