About this map

K C Ranch and Weatherby Ranch anchor this landscape in West Texas, reflecting the enduring presence of large-scale cattle ranching in Culberson County. The area is defined by its water management systems, essential for survival in this arid environment. Named catchment points such as Enrique Tank, Dust Bowl Tank, and the descriptively titled Sorghum Belt Tank are scattered across the terrain, indicating where water was historically collected for livestock.

Ephemeral drainage patterns like Emory Draw and Frijole Draw provide the primary topographical relief, cutting through the plains. The road network is strictly utilitarian, with routes like K C Rd and Weatherby Rd connecting these isolated homesteads. This 2010 survey offers a view of a specialized ranching economy where place names are tied directly to family operations and the critical infrastructure of water storage.
