2010 Map of Reininger Draw

About this map

Reininger Draw defines the drainage patterns of this arid Pecos County landscape, where water management is the primary marker of human activity. The map reveals a network of ephemeral watercourses and vital ranching infrastructure, including Morales Tank and Reininger Tank. These features, combined with family-named landmarks like Nevins Windmills and Roark Windmill, illustrate the logistical requirements of cattle ranching in West Texas during the early 21st century. The isolated F C Ranch serves as the lone named settlement node, situated among topographic landmarks such as Nevins Canyon and Fortyone Draw. The distribution of these windmills and draws provides a clear record of land use and resource navigation in a region where seasonal water flow dictates the geography of the range.
