2010 Map of Screw Bean Draw West

About this map

The Screw Bean Hills dominate this arid landscape in Culberson County, where the infrastructure is defined primarily by water management and transit routes. Life in this high desert environment is traced through the network of seasonal watercourses like Screw Bean Draw, China Draw, and Kimbell Draw. These ephemeral features, along with the strategically placed Collier Windmill and High Windmill, highlight the region's historical reliance on cattle ranching and scattered water sources. Two primary paved corridors, FM 652 and FM 2185, intersect in the northern portion of the quadrangle, serving as the modern lifelines for this sparsely populated portion of West Texas. The arrangement of windmills and roads against the backdrop of the draws provides a clear look at how human activity has adapted to the challenging terrain of the Trans-Pecos.
