2022 Map of Goat Canyon

About this map

The Apache Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in west Texas, rising above a network of deep drainage cuts like Goat Canyon and Hackberry Canyon. At the northern edge of the range stands the prominent peak of Old Baldy, overlooking a terrain where water management is the primary sign of human activity. The map reveals a sophisticated system of livestock water catchments scattered across the flats and foothills, including Bull Tank, Threemile Tank, and North Tank. These features, along with Jog Section Tank Number 4, highlight the ranching infrastructure necessary to sustain life in this arid environment. Transportation through the area is facilitated by Fm 2185 and Apache Rd, which provide access to this isolated portion of Culberson County where the natural topography dictates the movement of both people and livestock.
