About this map

The Pecos River carves through the northeastern corner of this West Texas landscape, marking the natural boundary between Loving Co and Reeves Co. This arid stretch of the Permian Basin is defined by its drainage networks, where seasonal watercourses like Narrow Bow Draw and Horsehead Draw channel runoff across the wide plains. The terrain is largely open and industrial-rural, crisscrossed by a grid of county roads such as Co Rd 433 and Co Rd 432 that service the region's energy and ranching operations.

Water management in this desert environment is evidenced by features like Hackberry Tank, a vital resource for local livestock. Further south and west, the geography is dictated by more expansive drainage patterns including Fourmile Draw, John D Draw, and W T Draw. The map captures a moment of modern land use where traditional ranching landmarks meet the infrastructure of the contemporary Texas oil patch.
