2010 Map of Valentine West

About this map

Valentine stands as the primary settlement in this High Plains region of Jeff Davis County, situated where the high desert meets the foothills. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of seasonal watercourses and drainage systems, including the prominent Wild Horse Creek and its associated Wild Horse Draw, which snake across the territory. Ranching culture is central to the area's geography, evidenced by established homesteads like Roosevelt Ranch and Conring Ranch. To the west, the terrain becomes more varied as it breaks into features such as Sitter Canyon and Knox Draw. Transportation through this expansive area is facilitated by local routes including Chilicote Rd and Chilicote Ranch Rd, reflecting the remote but connected nature of West Texas ranching operations in the early 21st century.
