2010 Map of Rudd Draw

About this map

Slash Ranch serves as a primary landmark in this corner of Loving County, illustrating the enduring cattle-ranching legacy in the Texas Permian Basin. This landscape is defined by its drainage systems and water management, with the ephemeral Rudd Draw cutting across the terrain toward various catchment points. Features like Gillespie Tank and Beacon Light Lake reflect the critical infrastructure required for livestock and industry in an arid environment. The map details a network of rural transit, including Reeves County 440 and Co Rd 300, which weave through the wide-open ranch lands. This 2010 edition from the U.S. Geological Survey documents the area before the most recent decade of intensive energy development, preserving a view of the traditional land use and remote county road networks of West Texas.
