2016 Map of Seven Heart Gap NW

About this map

Johns Well and Ocotillo Tank represent the vital water infrastructure necessary for survival in this arid stretch of Culberson County. The landscape is defined by the dramatic descent into Maverick Canyon to the southeast, where steep topographic contours reveal the complex drainage patterns of the Trans-Pecos region. Remote tracks like Stone Rd and Two Flat Rd provide the only passage through this sparsely settled territory, which is characterized more by its geological features than by human habitation. The distribution of these few water points suggests a land utilized primarily for ranching, where isolated tanks and wells serve as the primary landmarks in an otherwise vast expanse of Chihuahuan Desert terrain.
