2010 Map of Emory Corral

About this map

The Emory Corral area in Culberson County is defined by a sparse network of ranching infrastructure and drainage patterns at the base of the Delaware Mountains. This arid landscape is managed through a series of namesake water catchments, including Carr Tanks, Sifford Tank, and Frijole Tank, which supported the livestock industry in this portion of West Texas. Transport is limited to rugged tracks like Chico Rd, which winds through the terrain alongside significant seasonal watercourses such as Wild Horse Draw and Emory Draw. The map captures a moment in the early 21st century where the traditional ranching heritage and geographic isolation of the Trans-Pecos remain the dominant features of the land. The presence of Budweiser Draw in the southern portion suggests local naming conventions tied to the region's cultural history.
