About this map

Van Horn Mountains dominate the eastern reaches of this high-desert landscape in Culberson County. Water management is a central theme in this arid environment, evidenced by the presence of the Mica Mine Windmill and Formwalt Windmill. These utility points, along with the Taylor Ranch, represent the sparse ranching infrastructure that supports life in the West Texas scrubland.

Drainage patterns are clearly defined by the Green River and its tributary systems, including Echo Canyon and Eagle Canyon. The primitive Green River Rd follows these natural contours, providing a critical north-south corridor through the rugged basins. This survey serves as a record of rangeland development, showing how remote outposts like the Taylor Ranch utilize natural features like China Canyon for livestock operations.
