2012 Map of Plateau

About this map

Plateau serves as a central node in this arid Culberson County landscape, where the iron of the railroad and the asphalt of the Frontage Rd parallel one another across the high desert. The terrain is defined by its drainage patterns, with intermittent watercourses like Plateau Draw, Sacaton Draw, and Michigan Draw carving through the earth. In a region where water is a vital resource, the map documents several named catchment points including Sandhill Tank, Plateau Tank, and Cockleburr Tank. The gridded road network, featuring John Conoly Rd and Evergreen Rd, suggests a structured approach to ranching or land management in this West Texas territory. A short connector, Evergreen Spur, and the more remote Farm-To-Market Road 2185 provide the primary access to this expansive, weather-sculpted plateau.
