About this map

The Delaware Mountains define the western reaches of this high-desert landscape in Culberson County, where the scarcity of water has long dictated the patterns of human activity. The map reveals an intricate network of livestock watering points, or "tanks," essential for ranching in this arid environment, including Cedar Tank, Dutch Girl Tank, and Windy Tank. These points are connected by a series of primitive roads like Smileys Rd and Weatherby Rd, which navigate the elevation changes between the peaks and the broad alluvial basins.

Loneman Mtn rises as a prominent landmark in the south, overlooking the drainage systems of Paint Horse Draw and Horse Well Draw. Near the southern edge, Pack Springs indicates a rare natural water source amidst the more common man-made catchments like Division Tank and Natural Spillway Tank. The presence of Looney Spur Rd and FM 2185 provides a modern logistical skeleton to a terrain that remains defined by its elevation and hydraulic infrastructure.
