About this map

Loneman Mountain anchors this high-desert ranching landscape in Culberson County, where survival depends on a complex network of water management features. The map illustrates a sparse settlement pattern centered on the Looney Ranch and a series of livestock water tanks including Natural Spillway Tank, Dutch Girl Tank, and Cedar Tank. Transport across this arid terrain follows established routes like FM 2185 and named tracks such as Smileys Rd and Weatherby Rd.

The presence of East Windmill and South Windmill underscores the reliance on groundwater in a region defined by ephemeral drainages like Paint Horse Draw and Horse Well Draw. This 2010 survey provides a modern look at large-scale Texas landholding and the infrastructure required to maintain operations in the Trans-Pecos, from the Hackberry Tank in the south to the Palomas Tank near the northern boundary.
