About this map

Van Horn serves as a critical Trans-Pecos crossroads, situated where the high desert floor meets the looming Beach Mountains and Wylie Mountains. This 2016 survey captures the town's grid and its role as a regional hub, defined by the convergence of major transit corridors and the Culberson County Airport. The landscape is marked by significant drainage patterns, including Wild Horse Draw and Eagle Flat Draw, which direct seasonal runoff from peaks like Threemile Peak.

Tracing outward from the central streets such as W Broadway St and La Caverna St, the map reveals a rugged ranching and transit economy. Remote landmarks like Farmer Lake and named watercourses such as Hackberry Cr and Currizo Cr highlight the scarce water resources of the region. Local routes like Scott Crossing Rd and Whitehead Rd provide access to the surrounding ranch lands and mountain foothills.
