2012 Map of Nopal

About this map

Nopal and the nearby Nopal Ranch anchor this West Texas landscape in Presidio County, where the high desert terrain is defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainages. Significant natural water-collection points like Catto Tank and W-Bar Tank highlight the necessity of water management in this arid environment, supporting the ranching operations that characterize the region. The map reveals a land of open spaces marked by prominent features such as Orphan Hill and the converging paths of Ponder Draw, Short Draw, and the extensive Long Draw. Cultural developments include the Marfa Municipal Golf Course in the western section, while the local transportation network is traced via Antelope Hills Rd and Nopal Rd, providing a clear view of the rural infrastructure during the early 21st century.
