About this map

Looney Ranch sits at the heart of this Culberson County landscape, where the management of water is the primary architectural feature of the terrain. The map illustrates a network of essential water resources, including numerous livestock tanks such as Dutch Girl Tank, Natural Spillway Tank, and Palomas Tank. These man-made and natural catchments, alongside East Windmill and South Windmill, reveal the infrastructure required for ranching in this arid part of West Texas.

Rising to the south, Loneman Mtn provides a significant topographic landmark overlooking the sparse road network. Trails and local routes like Smileys Rd and Looney Spur Rd connect the isolated ranching outposts, while Pack Springs in the southeast corner marks a rare natural water source. The layout of these features demonstrates how land use in this region is dictated by the availability of water and the rugged geography of the Trans-Pecos.
