2022 Map of San Martine

About this map

San Martine Peak stands as the central landmark of this West Texas landscape, where the high desert terrain is defined by a complex network of ephemeral watercourses. These desert washes, including San Martine Draw, Moody Draw, and Harwell Draw, shape the local topography and historical drainage patterns of the region. The map highlights the essential role of water management in this arid environment through numerous named catchment basins such as Ice Cream Tank, Oil Well Tank, and Dead Cow Tank. The presence of the I-20 SVC RD and Bankhead Draw in the southern portion of the quadrangle shows the intersection of modern transportation infrastructure with traditional land names. This survey captures the transition between the Culberson and Reeves County line, illustrating a sparsely populated territory where ranching and resource extraction labels dominate the human footprint.
