About this map

Ephemeral drainage patterns and livestock infrastructure define this corner of the Trans-Pecos, where the arid landscape is etched by a series of seasonal watercourses. The prominent namesake Hopper Draw cuts through the central terrain, joined by Hart Draw to the north and the winding path of Herds Pass Draw in the southeast. These natural landmarks provided crucial orientation for early ranching operations, supported by localized water sources like North Tank.

A sparse network of unpaved roads, including Elcor Toyah Rd and Toyah Rd, connects this remote section of Culberson County. The intersection of Gresham Rd and Reht Rd highlights the practical, grid-like division of land for modern resource management. This survey documents the persistent character of the West Texas range, where topography dictates the flow of water and travel across the high desert.
