2022 Map of Long Point

About this map

Delaware Mountains dominate this high-desert terrain in Culberson County, where the dramatic topography is carved by a network of seasonal watercourses and deep canyons. Central to the landscape is Long Point, a prominent overlook providing a vantage across the converging drainage systems of Cottonwood Canyon and Piñon Canyon. The sparse hydrography of the region is defined by the ephemeral Delaware River, supported by isolated water features such as End Tank and Deep Tank. This modern survey reveals a landscape largely shaped by its natural aridity, featuring secluded plateaus like Little Piñon Park and deep-cut channels including North Rock Draw and Willow Draw. The layout of these features suggests a territory where movement is dictated by the steep canyon walls and the rare availability of water sources.
