2010 Map of Panther Tank

About this map

Water management and seasonal drainage define this arid stretch of Pecos County, where small outposts like North Camp support local ranching operations. The landscape is etched by a series of intermittent watercourses, including the wide Nineteen Draw and Monument Draw, which capture runoff during the region's rare rains. Essential to life in this dry terrain are the named water and infrastructure sites such as Panther Tank, Ellis Windmill, and Number Nine Windmill, which provide the critical resources needed for livestock in the high desert. Modern transportation is represented by the path of S Hwy 285, which cuts through the northeastern corner, connecting this remote ranchland to the broader Texas highway system. The map also documents several smaller geographic features like Carlos Draw, Cox Draw, and Burnen Tower Draw, illustrating the complex network of natural drainage that shapes the local topography.
