About this map

Gomez Peak rises as the central topographical landmark in this high-desert region where the boundaries of Culberson, Reeves, and Jeff Davis counties converge. The 2019 landscape is defined by its complex drainage systems, featuring named draws such as Adobe Draw, Scroggins Draw, and the wide Woulfter Draw to the south. This terrain is dotted with numerous vital water sources, from San Martine Spring in the north to the clustered Lower and Upper Hidden Spring further south.

Modern infrastructure, including the Interstate 10 corridor and its I-10 service roads, bisects the northern half of the map, providing a stark contrast to the network of private ranch roads like Nelson Letsco Ranch Rd and Stocks Ranch Rd. The survey meticulously documents the ranching infrastructure of the Trans-Pecos, specifically naming multiple tanks such as Antelope Tank, Wallace Tank, and Canyon Milk Tank, which indicate the continued reliance on managed water for livestock across this arid West Texas landscape.
