2013 Map of Nutt Ranch

About this map

Nutt Ranch and Puckett Ranch anchor this West Texas landscape, illustrating the enduring ranching culture of Culberson County. The terrain is defined by the significant elevations of the Baylor Mountains in the northeast and the Beach Mountains to the southwest, creating a broad valley corridor between these distinct ranges. The seasonal drainage of Sulphur Cr winds eastward across the center of the quadrangle, a vital geographical feature for water management in this arid environment. Transportation through the area is facilitated by the prominent route of State Highway 54 and the unpaved Whitehead Ho Rd, which provide access to isolated outposts like Watson Ranch. This 2013 survey offers a detailed perspective on contemporary land use and the sparse settlement patterns typical of the Trans-Pecos region.
