2019 Map of Valentine West

About this map

The boundary line of Jeff Davis Co Presidio Co cuts diagonally across this high-desert landscape, where ranching infrastructure defines the modern era. The town of Valentine sits in the northeastern corner, serving as a focal point along the transit corridor of US Highway 90 and California Ave. The terrain is shaped by an extensive network of ephemeral drainage features, including the broad Wild Horse Draw and Knox Draw, which channel seasonal water toward the lower elevations of the Trans-Pecos. Private ranch lands are accessed by several named routes such as Chilicote Ranch Rd and Nancy Ann Ranch Rd, illustrating the continued importance of landholdings like the Miller Ranch Rd in this part of West Texas. The drainage of Wild Horse Cr and Tally Slough further details the local hydrology in an area defined by its arid canyon systems like Sitter Canyon.
