2016 Map of Long Point

About this map

The Delaware River meanders through the high-desert landscape of Culberson County, defining the primary drainage system of this arid region. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent canyons and upland plateaus, most notably the geographic namesake Long Point. To the north, Cottonwood Canyon and Piñon Canyon incise the plateau, while the southern reaches are marked by the dry channels of North Rock Draw and Willow Draw. This 2016 survey illustrates a landscape primarily managed for ranching and water conservation, indicated by scattered catchment features such as End Tank, Deep Tank, and Little Piñon Tank. These water sources are critical landmarks in a vast, roadless environment where natural relief and seasonal waterways dictate the utility and navigation of the land.
