2022 Map of Valentine West

About this map

Valentine serves as the primary settlement on this West Texas expanse, where the high desert plateau of the Trans-Pecos meets the northern reaches of the Chihuahua Desert. The landscape is defined by its intermittent drainage patterns, including the prominent Wild Horse Draw and Wild Horse Cr, which snake across the territory alongside Tally Slough. Topographic relief is provided by several distinct geological cuts such as Sitter Canyon and the dry beds of Knox Draw and Walnut Draw. These features suggest a ranching environment where water management and seasonal runoff dictate the layout of roads and remote outposts.
