About this map

Reininger Draw and Morales Draw carve through this section of Pecos County, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent water flow in a high-elevation desert environment. This 2019 survey documents the essential water infrastructure required for ranching and land management in such an arid climate, specifically noting family-named or locally identified catchments like Morales Tank and Reininger Tank.

The presence of features like Watermelon Water Tank and the systematic numbering of drainages, such as Nineteen Draw and Fortyone Draw, suggests a highly organized approach to land division and resource tracking. These specific labels provide researchers and locals with a precise look at the naming conventions and pastoral landmarks that persist in the trans-Pecos region during the early 21st century.
