2012 Map of Nancy Anne Ranch

About this map

Nancy Anne Ranch and the nearby Old Chilicote Ranch define the sparse settlement pattern of this Presidio County landscape. This 2012 survey documents a remote ranching environment where water management is critical to operations, as evidenced by features like North Tank and Durazno Tank. The drainage network includes the prominent Wild Horse Cr and Red Mill Draw, which channel the limited rainfall through the high desert terrain. Grounded in rural infrastructure, the map traces the route of Old Brite Rd, a primary connector for the isolated ranching outposts in this region of West Texas. The sparse distribution of named points highlights the vast distances between established homesteads and the essential importance of naming water sources in an arid climate.
