2022 Map of Figure Two Ranch

About this map

Salt Basin dominates the central landscape of this Culberson County region, defining a broad desert floor bordered by the dramatic elevation shifts of the western escarpment. The topography is marked by deep incisions such as Black John Canyon and Marble Canyon, where the terrain rises sharply from the basin floor. This area is characterized by its large-scale ranching infrastructure, centered around the Figure 2 Ranch Airport. Transportation in this arid environment relies on a sparse network of specialized routes, including Stone Rd and Two Flat Rd, which navigate the flat basin stretches and connect the isolated ranch facilities. The mapping by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the specialized land use of the Trans-Pecos, where aviation and remote road networks are essential for managing vast private holdings.
