2010 Map of Van Horn

About this map

Van Horn serves as the central hub of this Trans-Pecos landscape, situated at the intersection of modern interstate travel and historical routes like the Old Bankhead Hwy. The town's grid is established in a high desert basin, flanked by the prominent Beach Mountains to the northwest and the Wylie Mountains to the southeast. Ranching history is evident through family-named landmarks such as Neal Ranch and Lipsey Ranch, while the local economy is anchored by the Culberson County Airport. To the south, water management in this arid environment is highlighted by the Harold Martin Lake Dam near Farmer Lake. The surrounding terrain features dry watercourses like Wild Horse Draw and Carrizo Creek, which define the drainage patterns of the region's rugged topography.
