2013 Map of Outlaw Spring

About this map

Delaware River drainage patterns dominate this high-desert landscape in Culberson County, where the persistence of water sources defines human activity. The map traces the winding course of the river as it intersects with modern infrastructure, most notably Ranch Road 652 and the long stretch of Pipeline Rd. These corridors facilitate movement through an arid environment marked by specific, named water points like Outlaw Spring and Box Springs. The presence of these named springs and the seasonal Alligator Draw suggests a reliance on reliable hydrology for local ranching operations. Away from the primary roads, smaller features such as Fence Line Spring and Willow Spring provide discrete reference points for land management and local history within this trans-Pecos territory.
