2010 Map of Panther Canyon

About this map

The Apache Mountains dominate the southern portion of this landscape, where the rugged terrain is carved by the deep drainage of Panther Canyon and Red Tank Canyon. In this arid stretch of Culberson County, the availability of water is the primary driver of human activity, evidenced by the strategic placement of stock tanks such as Buckhorn Tank and Red Tank. Ranching infrastructure defines the northern plains, where Foster Ranch serves as a central hub connected by FM 2424. A network of named water sources, including Jackson Windmill, Two Section Windmill, and Dagger Windmill, supports the agricultural operations across the flats. The map also traces the significant path of Clayton Draw, showing how seasonal water flow has shaped the local geography and road placement like Jones-Kent Rd.
