2022 Map of Gomez Peak

About this map

Gomez Peak and the surrounding high country of Woulfter Mtn define this section of West Texas where Culberson, Reeves, and Jeff Davis counties meet. The landscape is a network of arid drainage systems, including Harwell Draw, Ninemile Draw, and Bankhead Draw, which cut through the high-elevation terrain. Settlement in this region is defined by remote ranching operations, marked by the presence of Woulfter Ranch Rd and Nelson Letsco Ranch Rd. Water is the most critical resource here, evidenced by numerous named springs such as San Martine Spring, Indian Springs, and the Lower Hidden Spring. These water sources and artificial catchments like Canyon Mill Tank and Wallace Tank reveal the historical infrastructure required to sustain livestock in the Chihuahuan Desert highlands. The prominent elevations of Newman Peak and Gold Hill provide significant landmarks across this sparse, high-altitude terrain.
