2012 Map of Iron Mountain

About this map

Iron Mtn and the prominent Red Point anchor this arid Culberson County landscape, where the scarcity of water has historically defined the patterns of human activity. The map reveals a network of essential water sources scattered across the high desert, including the Highway Tank and several named wells such as the Wooden Windmill, North Windmill, and Pistola Windmill. These features indicate the vital importance of ranching infrastructure in West Texas. Transport is primarily served by Ranch Road 2424 and Iron Mountain Rd, which navigate the drainage basins of Clayton Draw, Kent Draw, and Dagger Draw. For genealogists or local historians, the inclusion of a lone Cem near the center of the survey offers a specific point of interest for tracing early burials in this sparsely populated region.
