2011 Map of Long Point

About this map

South Camp sits as a lone human outpost in this high-desert landscape of Culberson County, where the management of water is the primary concern for any inhabitant. The Delaware River cuts through the northern portion of the terrain, while life further south depends on a network of man-made improvements like the Force Windmill and Rock Tank Windmill. These features, along with strategically placed water catchments such as Deep Tank and End Tank, illustrate the ranching infrastructure necessary to survive in this arid environment. The map is defined by its dramatic relief, highlighted by the namesake Long Point and deep drainage systems like Cottonwood Canyon and Piñon Canyon. These geographical landmarks provide essential orientation points in a region where natural springs are replaced by engineered tanks like Little Piñon Tank, serving as critical hubs for local livestock and wildlife in the early 21st century.
