About this map

Halamicek Ranch sits in a landscape of ephemeral watercourses and vital catchment systems in this Reeves County area. This 2016 survey highlights the ranching infrastructure essential for West Texas survival, where water management is defined by man-made features like Scrub Tank, Section Tank, and McIlvain Tank. These collected basins serve as critical hubs between the dry, winding channels that drain the region.

Water flow across the terrain is traced by a network of named draws, including W T Draw, John D Draw, and McCarty Draw. Transportation is dictated by the grid of local roads and ranch access routes, most notably Ranch Rd 2119. This map captures a specific moment in the rural management of the high desert, where naming conventions like Horsehead Draw and Halamicek Draw reflect the legacy of the local families and early settlers who established these boundaries.
