2016 Map of Loneman Mountain

About this map

Loneman Mountain anchors this high-desert landscape in northern Culberson County, where the terrain is defined by a network of drainage draws and livestock water management. Ranching infrastructure is the primary mark on the land, evidenced by numerous named catchment basins such as Palomas Tank, Cedar Tank, and the uniquely named Dutch Girl Tank. These water sources are linked by unpaved corridors including Smileys Rd and Weatherby Rd, illustrating the isolation and specialized land use in this part of Trans-Pecos Texas. The topography is etched by seasonal watercourses like Paint Horse Draw and Dellahunt Draw, which converge and diverge across the arid flats. Near the southern edge of the quadrangle, Pack Springs offers a rare natural water point in a region dominated by man-made tanks like Natural Spillway Tank and Division Tank.
