2019 Map of Panther Tank

About this map

The Glass Mountains dominate this arid landscape in Pecos County, where the terrain is defined by a complex network of dry washes and drainage basins. These ephemeral water systems, including Nineteen Draw in the north and the converging paths of Carlos Draw and Cox Draw further south, illustrate the natural water management of the Trans-Pecos region. Named landmarks like Panther Tank indicate the vital importance of water storage in this ranching environment, while Monument Draw and Burnen Tower Draw provide specific geographic markers across the undulating ground. Apart from the presence of Highway 285 clipping the northeastern corner, the area remains largely undeveloped, preserving a topographic record of the high desert's natural contours and limestone formations.
