About this map

Lobo stands as a focal point in the high desert of the Trans-Pecos, situated where the Van Horn Mountains meet the expansive Lobo Valley. This 2019 survey illustrates a landscape of stark contrasts, from the prominent elevation of High Lonesome Peak to the drainages of Wild Horse Cr and Wild Horse Draw. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as China Canyon and Hammer Handle Canyon, which reveal the complex topography of the western mountain front.

Infrastructure in this portion of Culberson County is defined by a network of ranching and connector roads, including Chispa Rd and Lobo Rd, which facilitate movement across the valley floor. The map also records the jurisdictional boundary between Culberson Co and Jeff Davis Co, marking the southern extent of this desert corridor. The arrangement of Lobo Spur 1 and Lobo Spur 2 indicates the local importance of transit and property access in this sparsely populated cattle-ranching region.
