About this map

San Martine serves as the focal point for this West Texas landscape, where the arid environment is defined by an intricate network of windmills and water tanks essential for ranching life. The terrain is dominated by the prominent San Martine Peak and the sprawling San Martine Draw, which carries runoff alongside other seasonal drainages like Adobe Draw and Ninemile Draw. Ranching infrastructure is exceptionally dense here, with curiously named features such as Ice Cream Tank, Dead Cow Tank, and Gun Barrel Windmill dotting the map.

Local history and ranching lineage are visible through the T Diamond Ranch and the Seven Heart Crossing, indicating established routes and family-held lands. The presence of numerous structures like the Bull Windmill, Joans Windmill, and Railroad Windmill underscores the critical importance of groundwater management in this part of Reeves County. This 2010 survey provides a high-resolution look at how these functional landmarks organize the vast, open spaces between scattered ranch headquarters.
