2010 Map of Van Horn Wells

About this map

Van Horn Wells (Historical Monument) marks a significant point of interest in this high desert landscape, situated between the Van Horn Mountains to the west and the Lobo Valley to the east. The terrain is defined by the convergence of prominent landforms and drainage systems, including the Wylie Mountains and the long expanse of Wild Horse Draw. The presence of Farmer Ranch and Waddell Ranch speaks to the long-standing ranching traditions in this part of Culberson County. Local drainage is characterized by features like Eagle Flat Draw and Wild Horse Creek, which channel seasonal water through the basins. Heliograph Hill stands as a distinct topographical marker, while local travel is facilitated by Lobo Rd and 101 Rd, connecting these remote rangelands.
