The Delaware River meanders across this arid landscape in Eddy County, defining the drainage patterns of the Owl Hills region. This area is characterized by a network of ephemeral watercourses including Owl Draw, Gyp Draw, and Kimbell Draw, which emphasize the reliance on managed water sources for local ranching operations. The presence of the Prewit Ranch and water infrastructure such as Owl Tank, Brushy Tank, and the North Windmill illustrates the persistent human efforts to utilize this high-desert terrain.
