2016 Map of Ebers Camp

About this map

Ebers Camp sits within the high arid country of Pecos County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of deep canyons and seasonal drainage draws. This area of West Texas is characterized by the Big Divide and the Boat Hills, features that dictate the movement of water and livestock across the territory. The map reveals a reliance on man-made water sources, with scattered catchments such as Carlos Tank, Shelton Tank, and Javalina Tank providing essential resources in a region otherwise marked by dry features like Big Canyon and Fife Canyon. The terrain is etched by numerous natural pathways including Monument Draw and Nevins Draw, illustrating the rugged erosional patterns typical of the Trans-Pecos region. This survey captures the sparse infrastructure of ranching life, where isolated camps and tanks represent the primary points of human activity amidst the high-elevation flats and steep-walled canyons.
