2010 Map of Gomez Peak

About this map

Gomez Peak and the surrounding high desert of Culberson County define this landscape of ranching and water management. Centered on the settlement of Levinson, the map documents a network of private holdings including the Cowan Homestead, Cowden Ranch, and Stocks Ranch. This arid environment is marked by an extensive system of draws and tanks essential for livestock, such as Adobe Draw, Ninemile Draw, and Clay Tank. Higher elevations like Newman Peak and Woulfter Mountain overlook the lowlands, where Levinson Reservoir and various windmills, including the Arbor Windmill and Bankhead Windmill, provide critical water infrastructure. The presence of these named camps and ranches illustrates the enduring legacy of wide-ranging Texas cattle operations and the strategic importance of reliable water sources like San Martine Spring and Cold Spring in the Trans-Pecos region.
