About this map

The Apache Mountains dominate the southern landscape of this Culberson County survey, showing a complex network of high ridges and deep drainages. Arid water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by features such as Buckhorn Tank and Red Tank, which serve as vital points in an environment defined by seasonal watercourses like Charley Tank Draw and Panther Canyon.

Human activity is concentrated along a sparse network of roads that navigate the transition from the high peaks to the lower flats. Jones-Kent Rd and Foster Rd provide the primary access through this remote stretch of West Texas, while FM 2424 skirts the eastern slopes. The map details how these routes follow the natural contours of the land, connecting isolated tanks and crossing dry washes like Clayton Draw and Dagger Draw.
