2022 Map of Ebers Camp

About this map

Boat Hills rise from the desert landscape of Pecos County, defining the high ground of this West Texas quadrangle. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of seasonal watercourses and drainage basins, with Big Canyon and Javalina Canyon cutting through the limestone-strewn topography. A reliance on water management for ranching is evident through the distribution of artificial reservoirs such as Ebers Tank, Carlos Tank, and Shelton Tank. These features, along with the Big Divide, show how human land use is strictly dictated by the arid environment and natural landforms. Long drainage paths like Monument Draw and Morales Draw flow toward the lower elevations, illustrating the watershed patterns that have shaped the history of land division and cattle grazing in this part of the Trans-Pecos region.
