2010 Map of Lobo

About this map

Lobo stands as a focal point in this Trans-Pecos landscape, situated at the eastern edge of the expansive Lobo Valley. The terrain is defined by the stark transition from the alluvial flats of the valley floor to the rugged elevations of the Van Horn Mountains in the west. Key topographical landmarks such as HighLonesome Peak and the drainage patterns of China Canyon and Hammer Handle Canyon illustrate the arid hydrology of the region. This 2010 survey highlights a sparse infrastructure network, where essential water sources like HighLonesome Windmill and seasonal routes like Wild Horse Creek dictate the utility of the land. The presence of specialized transport markers, including Lobo Spur 1 and Lobo Spur 2, reflects the historical reliance on ranch roads and rail-adjacent spurs to navigate this high-desert environment.
