About this map

Emory Corral anchors this high-desert landscape in Culberson County, marking a site of livestock management in an arid environment defined by its drainage patterns. The terrain is dominated by significant ephemeral watercourses, most notably Emory Draw and the curiously named Budweiser Draw, which funnel seasonal runoff across the territory. A network of ranch roads, including Chico Rd and Roberto Rd, connects various water improvements essential for cattle ranching in the Trans-Pecos.

Surface water is represented by a series of named tanks distributed across the quadrangle, such as Antelope Tank, Sifford Tank, and Cargile Tank. These man-made features, alongside Frijole Tank near the southern boundary at Frijole Draw, highlight the infrastructure required to sustain life and industry in this remote corner of West Texas. The map illustrates how human activity follows the natural contours and draws of the land.
